Bowtie Font Bug

Hey all,

I've recently been told about the music desktop app "Bowtie" which adds the music you're currently playing to the desktop.

I've added a few themes, but each theme appears to be using, what looks like "Times New Roman" as the default font...

Here is what it currently looks like:

Here is what it should look like:

It isn't theme specific - It uses this font on every theme that uses text

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Marky

I've had a good tinker with various themes installed on Bowtie and haven't been able to replicate you issue.... that's running on top of Mavericks on my MBA, although I've not had a chance to try it on ML on the iMac.

Had to bin it on Mavericks for now though, as it's caused the following error in iTunes:

Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000bbadbeef

Pity, as I'm mainly using the MBA at the minute and Bowtie is really rather nice and useful!

Same issue here, I'm a new Mac user so I haven't tried messing around with it too much though. Wondered if it might have been something as simple as a missing font installed in the font library?

Oh it's a shame that it's causing problems with Mavericks... Not sure if it's still be supported by its developer as the Twitter account hasn't been used in a year

Glad I'm not on my own in this boat

I wondered the same thing also...
