Jean, thank you very much, it does really help. I think I have problems installing fonts though, I thought I had it working with frescobaldi, but I can't get frescobaldi to install fonts anymore, no clue what I'm doing wrong. But that's another issue. I've done it manually, and tada, the right fonts for the letters were there :-)
