Hi Chris,
I did some progresses ;-)
The fonts are in a different directory I think. Maybe they didn't check out from CVS correctly or something? Can you verify that the fonts/ directory exists and has .ttf files in it?
No, it's ok.. the fonts are there, (except arial.ttf - which you correctly assume that it is already in their place from the GEM install.)
I got a lot of error messages from GEM:
GL: value not valid error: inlet: expected '' but got 'gem_state'
That is a weird one. It sounds like something is connected to a gem object expecting a gemhead but getting something else. What does it show you if you do "find last error" from the menu?
I suspected that it was my Gem.dll (the error was on pix_sig2pix~ in instrument 2). After downloading gem-0.90.1-NT-i586-bin-doc.zip from the IEM download area everything is fine with GEM now !
In any case, I still got a PD crash without the -noloadbang flag..
Best,
Alberto Zin
