Maybe the bold font didn't install right. When I tried to install all three, I got an OS X warning about some font properties. I will remove the two nonbold and only install the bold variant. I am traveling today for the holidays, but I will get a new one up soon.
Any thoughts about the arrows or the rest of it? I looked at a google image search of "dmg installation background" and tried to make an arrow in proportion to what looked typical. I added a gradient, but I can easily remove it. We're working on a subtle circuit board background to add some life to it, but that will be a few dayswith the holidays. Also, the window size will be made exactly the right size to match the background--I eyed it for this but found a way to make it exact.
