Spotify player not enough text height #25

image Some letters like "g" are cut off because of not enough space. "ClipStringH=41" needs to be increased to at least "ClipStringH=45" As for the other media player I don't know as I didn't test it.

Thanks @jogerj ! Good catch. It's likely a problem for both player skins; I'll be sure to take a look at the NowPlaying version as well.

I think part of the problem in the screenshot is the font; it looks like you're missing Century Gothic so Rainmeter is rendering the track info in Arial instead, which has a larger descender height.

I haven't been including Century Gothic in the .rmskin packages for licensing reasons, but I've always wondered whether I should just include the font anyway... It's included with Microsoft Office products, I think, but it is possible to find a download for the font online with a little searching.

That said, even in Century Gothic the 'g' is losing a pixel or two, so I'm going to increase the ClipStringH a bit anyway.

Update Here's what I've got: without background with background

I gave the track info more height (41 -> 45), and moved the buttons up a bit to partially compensate (2 -> 0). Still looks pretty good to me, and that should give anyone using an alternate font some more space.
