I'm not sure I understood. Have you implemented Olly's proposal after
yesterday afternoon?

I'm asking because I got Therion's code yesterday afternoon and that code
got me the 768 metapost error that I had to fix by manually inserting the
*text-fonts* line in /etc/therion.ini. And again, just copying the
therion.ini would not have solved the issue as it has no uncommented lines
in it.

May be there should be a new text-fonts-optional line on source's
therion.ini file. Is that what's missing now?


Regards,

Rodrigo
