Platypus error in Linux

[noreply@pz.org]

Mr. Sato:

Thank you for your note and the thoughtful inclusion of a solution.  
Sorry, we should have caught the problem. It's now logged as a defect  
(http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/PLATYPUS-37) and I will fix it this  
weekend and send you a notice of the fix.

What font are you using that fails in 0.2.0 and not in 0.1.6? I'm  
asking only so as to be able to duplicate the problem.

Again, thank you,

---Andrew Binstock
