I have FontLab 5.04 installed on a Windows Vista system, and have had Python 2.7 installed on the same system for a long time. But FontLab has always insisted that "Python is not installed", which obviously is not true. How can I convince FontLab that Python is present? I want to use my licensed RMX tools. Is my Python too new? Do I really have to find an outdated build to make it work with FontLab?
Thank you. I wish I didn't have to do this, though.
>I wish I didn't have to do this, though
Yes. If you're using Python for other purposes outside of FontLab, it's a shame to have to have to downgrade.
Indeed. I use Python for lots-of-stuff, so this is a nuisance. FontLab is very far from cheap; that kind of money should really buy us regular maintenance upgrades too.
You shouldn't need to downgrade, Rich. You can have multiple versions of Python installed on Windows.
>You can have multiple versions of Python installed on Windows.
Damn. No issues with the system paths and such? Will check it out - nothing worse than a bad assumption.
Any gotchas to be aware of?
thanks.
Rich
