Things are getting more interesting. Apparently drakfont shows that the font mscore20 has been successfully installed, although in the preview pane it looks like any other ordinary font (is this normal)? In addition, I found that the drakfont installed the font in the following directory: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf/ fonts.dir describes the font as follows: mscore20.ttf -misc-mscore20-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1 Could someone please do me a favor and cross-compare this with their setup? Finally, should I install the font first and then recompile the app or should this have no bearing on the issue? Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated! Best wishes, Ico
