Thanks very much to Francesco and Saam for their perseverance with gretl on Panther! Thanks very much also for the offer of a copy of Panther. I would like to take this up, but I'm concerned about the possibility of screwing up my wife's computer, to which I have access only on suffrance! I tried updating to OS X 10.2.8 at one point and the update failed: I was afraid I'd turned her imac into a doorstop, but after some scary work at the mac console I managed to recover 10.2.4. However, I do have something to try. I notice that the font folder included in the new gretl.dmg is showing up in the X font path OK. That's encouraging. If you have the patience, I suggest trying the following two changes: 1. In Gretl_Folder/bin, open gretl.sh in a text editor and add these two lines, after the ones mentioning PANGO_RC_FILE: GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE="$PREFIX/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules" export GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE (Also in this file, probably best set GDK_USE_XFT=1) 2. In your home folder (e.g., for me, /Users/allin), look for any files whose names start with .gretl. If there are any other than .gretlosxrc, delete them. In .gretlosxrc (which should be there) (a) Replace Fixed_font = <whatever> with Fixed_font = Luxi Mono 12 (b) Replace App_font = <whatever> with App_font = Luxi Sans 12 These Luxi fonts are the free TrueType fonts supplied with the new gretl.dmg. I'm hopeful that if these fonts are specified, they might be found! If this works, I can modify the gretl OS X package accordingly. Allin Cottrell
