Unfortunately I did install it using drakfont (although after install it did not show up on the list of installed ttf fonts in drakfont, or it was under some other name than mscore20). It does show up in the settings of mscore but it is presented as legible letters in the preview pane, not symbols (as I would've expected). So it is still possible that I did not install them properly. If I wanted to check by hand whether it has been installed properly where would I look? I already tried Rosegarden, Brahms, Noteedit, and Denemo. IMHO Denemo is nice but not necessarily good for page formatting, Noteedit crashes on every subsequent reload (even if I remove the rc file from the config), while Rosegarden to me currently seems to be the strongest candidate (apart from the very nice mscore software). Hence, I am really eager to get the mscore working. Thanks all for your help!
