Fontlab4.5 & Python problem

peterbruhn

Anyone experienced a problem with getting Python to work with FL4.5 ?

I can't get the Macro tool to show. I use MacOS 9.2.2 & Python 2.2.1.

Can anyone help? What am I doing wrong?

I don't know what you're doing wrong, but I've had problems too. When I first installed Python, it worked, but after a restart, macros weren't available. Running "ConfigurePythonCarbon" in the Python folder got it working again....until I restarted.

Hope someone else has a more durable answer.

Before I got an error:
"Attention! Fontlab can't blablah.
The reason =Can't find a reason"

But after 3 reboots it has dissapeared. It can't be Python because it has worked fine before. Is there a known conflict with another program?
Or do I have to move something from FL to the Python folder?
The manual doesn't say that much.

Having proiblem installing FL in 9.2.2
I rebooted with Jaguar, installed it & then
rebooted back to 9.2.2 (no, I don't want to run Classic it's way too slow.).
Maybe that's the problem? By installing the software from OSX I automatically told the oftware to go for the OSX version of Python?

Try asking Pyrus - their tech support is legendary.

hahaha..why didn't that cross my mind. Will do!
thanks

No reply from Fontlab yet! Anyone who has experienced the same problem?

Thank you Yuri. It now works in OSX, but it still
doesn't work in 9.2.2.
