Platypus error in Linux

[noreply@pz.org]

Hello Andrew,

I'm using the default font. That is, I didn't use any ff: command to  
set the font. The same problem happens when I do use a ff: command to  
switch to Helvetica or Courier. By the way, I noticed in that link you  
mentioned for the defect that some of the backslash characters  
disappeared in the Description section, probably because of how  
backslash gets treated as a special character by whatever is writing  
the HTML.

Thanks for your fast response. I like what I've seen of Platypus so far.
