@juandspy I have no committed date for the release. Mainly due to heavy obstacles with Kotlin the 1.3 is already delayed. That’s why I plan an intermediate 1.2.3 release with various fixes and improvements I made in the meanwhile. But also for 1.2.3 I have no committed date.

It heavily depends on my available time to work on alphaTab and how many other bugs are reprorted on 1.2 which might need to go into 1.2.3

@juandspy Sorry for the late response on your last question. You only changed one setting from Georgia to Noto and therefore it still waits for Georgia to be there. Notice the defaults here: https://alphatab.net/docs/reference/settings/display/resources/#resources

I made now in 1.3 an improvement where we support font lists and we ship now by default a config like Georgia, sans-serif which ensures a proper fallback to system defaults. I made tests on Fedora and the feature works as expected.

No, the maintainer seems to think it’s a client configuration issue, so I didn’t consider this project further.
