Screenshot with an example of the bug

I've noticed this bug in Foobar2000 with the font Tahoma, but it possibly
affects other applications as well.
I'm using a plugin that displays song lyrics. Now, for certain combinations of
characters (such as "fl" or "fi"), the program uses ligatures instead of the
individual characters. In every line with a ligature, the text is aligned to
the left instead of the middle. Furthermore, the ligature characters seem to be
from a different font set and therefore look out of place.
Other fonts such as Verdana don't use ligatures and look fine.
See screenshot for example.

Is there a download for this plugin so it can be reproduced?

This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days. Development recommends
to check the status on your bug every release or two and let to be known if the
bug is still present. If not, mark it fixed. If you are no longer able to put
effort to this ticket, you can abandon it.

Is this still an issue with 1.7.7 or higher ?

Hello folks,

initial reporter didn't bother to provide more information.

I searched a bit and found the following URL which talks about "How to See
Lyrics in Foobar2000":
http://dan.hersam.com/2010/06/11/how-to-see-lyrics-in-foobar2000/
 and the

"Lyrics plugin/Lyrics panel(Columns UI)" ->
http://foo2k.chottu.net/foo_uie_lyrics_panel.zip

"Dockable Panels" ->
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Plugins/foo-dockable-pan...

Anyway, I'd say abandoned.
Reopen if you can reproduce it with recent Wine version and make sure you
provide exact instructions how to verify.

Regards
