Unfortunately, I think this is a bug. The ordering of fonts in the family list is being ignored, and Bitstream Vera Sans is winning over Nimbus Roman for reasons other than its name. I'll have to get this patch in for the bugfix release we're already planning.
As a workaround, try putting only "Nimbus Roman No9 L" as the only font in the list. Does that help? Also, I don't see the Nimbus Roman font file (n021003l.ttf) anywhere in the debugging output. Are you sure it's in C:\Windows\Fonts ? Mike Jörgen Stenarson wrote: > Hi, > > congratulations on releasing 0.98.4.
