Does this still work for you in 21.0.66 and later? It stopped working
for me and I haven't had a chance to look into why. The splash screen
shows a yucky bold italic font, which must be generated from the
italic courier font instead of oblique courier font.
well, it DOESNT work for me. and it seems that this IS the problem: on my
system the italic font are in weird sizes, the oblique are right.
just a layman's question, though a bit off the subject: what's the
difference between oblique and italic? and why the wrong sizes in italics?
and why doesnt *try-oblique-before-italic-fonts* do its job?
