I think this losing fonts may be due to the installer doing something wrong writing the font keys in the windows registry - that would explain why it affected an already installed program. Why it spontaneously righted itself is down to some periodic housekeeping that windows does, I guess. As these tests are done on machines which have had Denemo installed and crudely deleted multiple times, the real-world experience of folk may be different. If I can just get to build the installer, I could do some tests on the nsis spec - at the moment I am stuck with the denemo configure stage not finding portmidi... it seems to be not in the gub tree, yet is listed as a dependency in denemo.py Richard _______________________________________________ Denemo-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/denemo-devel
