An important hint for all Arasan users:

If you uninstall Arasan (the GUI version), then this uninstallation procedure
completely wipes out the Merida font (if previously installed)!

After I´ve uninstalled Arasan (after testing it), I no longer had correct
chess pieces in Arena - the Merida font has been deleted from the Windows
font folder, and I had to copy it again to this location manually (and
of course rebuild the font cache).

Oh God, how I hate this ´install programs´! :-(
Why not simply use an ordinary ZIP file with everything needed in it!?
(If somebody isn´t able to extract such a ZIP file and copy some fonts
manually into the fonts folder, then he should throw away his computer.)

Regards,
Franz.
