I am having problems changing my menu bar font with silk 2.1.2 with the latest version of tiger. Fonts are changed (itunes, dock, some safari webpage font) but never the menu bar.

i just bought a copy and installed it over and expired demo. ive tried deleting all preferences and then looking through apple's plist files and deleting any unsanity remants to acheive a fresh install.

what am I doing wrong?

Try TinkerTool to handle the fonts Silk doesn't seem to.

Have you tried a different font? Restarted the Mac? Tried it without a theme? Tried it with different themes? Tried it with a different user? Reverted to an older version of Silk and seeing if that does anything? Checked out the Unsanity site for possible clues? Contacted someone from Unsanity?

Hello, have you solved the problem?
I'm being a little crazy on this matter.
Thx in advance for any help.

Oh... thx so much!

I found this morning a post where it was well explained.
But font substitution it's a bit strange...
in Finder menubar bold doesn't exist, in other apps yes...
... plus some other glitches here & there.

So I decided to keep Lucida Grande

Thx a lot again.

Ciaooo
