Hi all,
The title says it all, I guess. The application Muse Score looks incredibly
promising yet I fail to understand why are the fonts looking all corrupt
(most of them being blocky squares, straight vertical lines or simply
non-existent).
No errors were reported during install, no configure problems, the app
starts cleanly (there is a warning regarding inability to figure out locale
but other than that no errors).
After logging out and restarting the X server the appearance of the
corrupted fonts changed but they were still trashed.
I am using mdk 10 (albeit heavily updated).
Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated (in part because this
would be one of the apps I would want to teach and/or demo in my class,
provided that it works on my machine, of course :-).
Best wishes,

it's possible that broken/unknown locale is what screws up the fonts.
I'd try to use different locale (something like C or en_us).

Did you do the separate font installation? From the README:
<snip>
- install font fonts/mscore20.ttf:
The font is not automatically installed. It must be done
manually.
(If upgrading from prev. versions of mscore make sure you
have installed the latest font version)
...and then later
For Mandrake please use the program "drakfont"
for font installation.
</snip>
I hope that's all it was.

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!

unfortunately the qt library decides whether a tt-font is valid and
usable and if not silently replaces it by another font which is not
what you want for mscore20.ttf. There are some older versions of qt
which definitely did not work with mscore20.ttf. You should try with
a recent qt version (3.3.x).
BTW the current mscore cvs version explicitly checks for a proper
installed mscore20 font.

Thank you for the reply and obviously a great app Werner!
I am running qt 3.3.2 and have checked in KDE whether the font was properly
installed (and it apparently is).
I do have antialiasing of fonts enabled in KDE for all font sizes. I will
test the app without aliasing enabled to see what happens.
Should I try the CVS perhaps?
