Help - Windows Media Player taskbar viewing problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Description of the taskbar functions:

The Features of taskbar contains buttons that link to the key
Player features: These are -
'Now Playing'
'Media Guide'
'Copy from CD'
'Media Library'
'Radio Tuner'
'Copy to CD or Device'
'Premium Services'
'Skin Chooser'

Description of the problem:

Features listed in the taskbar area, are not viewable in plain
English characters, rather it puts up blank square looking
characters. I have loaded different media skins but it does
not replace the blanks with English wordings.

Questions:

1. Am I missing any TTF files, that helps to put the English characters
on the taskbar ?
2. Any idea how to fix this taskbar viewing problem ?
