Mac OS-X font problem
I have seen a number of references to the MuseScore font problem in OS-X but no solutions to this problem. I am running OS-X 10.6.7 and have tried installing several different version of MuseScore and going through all the suggested operations with the Font book etc. but the font remains with each character being a series of rectangles.
I launched MuseScore from the terminal and get the following message:
Sym: character 0xe104(57604) are not in font
Sym: character 0xe105(57605) are not in font
Sym: character 0xe106(57606) are not in font
Sym: character 0xe107(57607) are not in font
Sym: character 0xe108(57608) are not in font
Sym: character 0xe109(57609) are not in font
Sym: character 0xe10b(57611) are not in font
2cannot parse <1.0>
I can run MuseScore properly on my Windows XP and Linux partitions under Parallels by not in OS-X. Shall I just give up running it in OS-X or is there a version that will work on recent version of OS-X?

Can you check whether this Mac OS X v10.6.7 Snow Leopard Font Update fixes anything for you?

I have tried both of the above suggestions already -- it makes no sense to validate the fonts in the OS-X system anyway because the MuseScore fonts are not installed in the system they are binary files inside the application....

It makes no sense but it has worked for many other users (See http://musescore.org/en/node/6771 for example). It seems that broken fonts on the system confuses Qt somehow. Maybe it will be fixed with the next 1.1 version.
