    Yes....that's it. The patch loads fine now. I guess I should add the
    "-font-face Monaco" flag to the startup settings.<br>
    Can you explain why this makes it work?<br>

documented project Xth sense.
I'm interested in trying to get C:NTR:l running on my ubuntu 10.04 
laptop system, but trying to start the patch crashes PD and causes it to 
close immediately.
Do you know of anyone running it on a comparable system?
best regards, Nick Burge.
