Hello,

I tried running version 0.2.0 on my Fedora Linux system, and this is what I got:

$ export PLATYPUS_HOME=/tmp/platypus
$ java -jar /tmp/platypus/platypus.jar -fontlist
Could not find/open: /tmp/platypus/config\Platypus.properties
Missing file: /tmp/platypus/config\Platypus.properties which is required.
Please place it as indicated and restart Platypus.

It looks like Platypus is using a Windows-style path separator (\), which of course doesn't work in Linux. In fact, after looking through the source code I found "config\\" in these files:
org/pz/platypus/CommandTable.java
org/pz/platypus/Platypus.java
org/pz/platypus/SymbolsList.java
org/pz/platypus/plugin/pdf/PdfSymbolsTable.java

And I found "config" + '\\' in this file:

org/pz/platypus/Literals.java

After changing those to use "config/" and re-compiling, I no longer got those errors and everything seemed to work. The only problem I've noticed since then is that foreign characters, like [c_] for the French cedilla, don't show up. But if I use the older 0.1.6 version then those characters do show up.
