 Apple

The Astrological Symbols are not visible after Installation
It seems that Apple doesn't install new fonts automatically any more, so you have to do it using Apples FontBook.
After installation the Astro Fonts are located in "/Library/Fonts/vhfAstro.otf" and vhfAstroLogical.otf.
A double click to a font will open the FontBook. Now you can simple drag and drop the Fonts from the Finder to the folder "All Fonts". Or you can add the fonts using the Plus-button in FontBook. That's all.

 Linux / GNUstep

The RPM package manager shows failed dependencies for libgnustep-base.so.x.xx and libgnustep-gui.so.x.xx."
The GNUstep libraries have to be installed in /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries (Debian: /usr/lib/GNUstep...).
If this is the case, you can safely install Cenon without dependency check:
rpm -Uhv --nodeps Cenon*.rpm

The RPM package, I converted with Alien for Debian does not work
The RPM packages install to the directory '/usr/GNUstep', while Debian installed GNUstep to '/usr/lib/GNUstep'. To save the situation, you can simply create a link to '/usr/GNUstep'.
ln -s /usr/lib/GNUstep /usr/GNUstep
At the moment there are no Debian packages of the Astro module available.

Still, it does not work with Debian
The Debian versions of Cenon and the GNUstep libraries doesn't necessarily fit with the RPM packages of the Astro module. The safest way is to compile the source codes of Cenon and the Astro module.
