I want to apologize if this is a commonly asked question, I did attempt to try and find a solution on my own before posting, however this has left me stumped. I've found that with all music player skins the rewind, forward, pause, play, etc. buttons are replaced by numbers. Here's a screenshot of my most current one that illustrates the problem.
Here is also the code for the skin.

I am not proficient enough to find and resolve the problem myself, but I am holding out hope that some kind Samaritan on here will be able to help me. Please let me know if you require more information to solve the problem

Looks like the font "Webdings" is not installed on your system. You could try to use a different font, or download "Webdings" from the internet.
Here is what I get when I run your code:

BTW - There are easier ways of making a "Winamp" skin using the
NowPlaying Plugin . Then you can use the
!CommandMeasure bang to interact with Winamp.
Also, you can use
images to display your buttons to play, pause, skip, etc.

Thank you for the suggestion. I found the webdings font, downloaded, and put it in my fonts folder in Windows. I then changed the font in the .ini file, however I'm still seeing the numbers replacing the correct arrows. Here is what the code looks like now, perhaps I missed something.

As to your other solution. I tried the NowPlaying skin as well, but found that despite following the instructions that came with the download, I was unable to get it to work.

Try taking out the "Regular" from your font face, just leave it as "Webdings"

All I did was change your font variable to "Webdings" instead of "Webdings Regular", and I also added "FontFace=#Font#" to the appropriate meters. This solution works for me.

Try to download a music player from
here , or
DeviantART , then just edit it to your taste.
Here is some more information on the NowPlaying plugin.
I still think using images is a better to display music player icons than using a symbol from a font.
