A native Linux version of Purple Pen in the near future is highly unlikely. I have investigated this in detail and the technical work to get Purple Pen running on Linux is very high.
However, Purple Pen runs well under the Virtual Box virtualization software. I have written up a document that describes how to get this set up. See http://purple-pen.org/virtualbox.htm

Objects such as white-out areas, images, lines, and texts already can be associated with only some courses. Select the object by clicking on it, then select "Change Displayed Courses..." from the Item menu. Then you can change which courses are particular item is displayed on.

To change the language for text descriptions, select "Customize Description Text" from the "Event" menu and select the language at the top of this dialog box.
Unfortunately, Danish is not one of the languages that is currently available in Purple Pen. If you would like to supply translations for Danish, or know someone who would, please consult http://purple-pen.org/translating/TranslatingPurplePen.htm for instructions on how to do so. Or email peter@golde.org if these instructions are unclear.

Select the leg that you want to be a marked route. Select Item/Leg Flagging/Entire Leg Flagged. You can also use the Item/Add Bend command to add one or more bends so that the leg follows the route of the flagging.

Can you explain why the Item/Leg Flagging/Entire Leg Flagged command does not do what you want?

In 2.5.0 you can customize the length of the whole course in Course/Properties. Slightly different than this suggestion, but I though I would mention it.

The font "Arial Narrow" will be automatically used for descriptions if it is installed on your system.

A native Mac version of Purple Pen in the near future is highly unlikely. I have investigated this in detail and the technical work to get Purple Pen running on Mac OS X is very high. Compiling C# with Xamarin is easy in principle, but Purple Pen depends on many Windows APIs and libraries that are not available on Mac.
However, Purple Pen runs well under the Virtual Box virtualization software. I have written up a document that describes how to get this set up. See http://purple-pen.org/virtualbox.htm
You can also use Parallels, VMWare Fusion, or dual boot with Apple BootCamp.
Hopefully these solutions work OK for people. As Purple Pen evolves over the long term, I will keep cross platform considerations in mind, but this likely requires a significant re-writing of Purple Pen.
