Hi!

With Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (32-Bit) the MaxGUI driver sets my app and all labels to "Helvetica". This font isn't even listed as fallback option in the docs?!

"Free Serif" and "Courier" fonts are installed on the system, so shouldn't it use these instead?

The LoadGuiFont:TGuiFont() example doesn't have an effect on the displayed fonts at all, i.e. the displayed text is always set to "Helvetica".

Is there a proper way to force a certain font for a Linux app or include a free front with the distribution file to make sure
that everything looks fine?

How do you guys handle these aspects? I just want the font to look somwhat like on Windows (= "Tahoma" font).
