Rainer: Yes, the time signature characters are located in the tablature font file, and the Fronimo font file layouts are not standard -- not all spots in the font map are filled, and not all spots that are occupied are filled with the same character that is there in a standard text or display font. If you use a font for the tablature characters that was not supplied with the Fronimo software, the characters located at the corresponding place in the font map will sometimes be different.
Get a font editor and modify the font (e.g. Old English Text MT that comes with Windows) and save it under a new name.

Question: Instead of time signatures get empty boxes. I assume this is a font problem. Any idea anybody?
