I got the same problem!

Pyxie · 2015-04-10T04:38:56Z

Same here. I take it there's not a fix for this yet?

kmj2318 · 2015-05-21T16:39:40Z

Having this same problem. All I want to do is convert Myriad Set Pro.

1maverick1 · 2015-05-27T00:24:23Z

Same here, I would like to install Avenir Next, I'm unable to convert the fonts into system because of that error. It seems that the author of this patch had abandoned the project, since there was no updates when he released the previous patch.

Still waiting to hear back from the author of this repo.

dtinth · 2015-05-27T04:38:25Z

The convenient script doesn't say much when things go wrong. Maybe you have to try to follow the manual instructions first, so that it tells you what went wrong.

What is the error output when you run this command?

python -c 'import fontforge; print "FontForge works in Python"'

1maverick1 · 2015-05-27T05:42:45Z

@dtinth I'm getting this error:

Even I tried to convert the fonts manually using terminal the same error shows up as the screenshot.

1maverick1 · 2015-05-27T05:54:25Z

Would you mind sending the Avenir Next font please?

1maverick1 · 2015-05-27T13:35:59Z

Any update?...

1maverick1 · 2015-05-28T12:24:49Z

@dtinth I would like to know is it possible to fix this issue? I'm still stuck with the above error when I tried to re-install the fontforge...

dtinth · 2015-05-28T14:47:24Z

Could you tell me which python is being used? Run that in the terminal, you should see something like this:

▹ which python
/usr/local/bin/python

It should say /usr/local/bin/python. If it says /usr/bin/python then it's using the wrong one. First, try to locate the python installed by Homebrew:

/usr/local/bin/python -c 'print "ok"'

If it says ok, then Homebrew's Python is properly installed. Then export the PATH to that Python:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Then please try running the script again.

Hello.

Many thanks for a detailed report. I'm quite busy now and don't have much
time to support my projects. By best guess is that it seems like installing
fontforge is not enough... You also need to install Homebrew's Python.

Please try uninstalling fontforge first, then install Python:

brew install python

Then install fontforge again.

@dtinth Would you convert the “Avenir Next” font for me? I'm waiting for that. I can't able to get this fixed. Any solution would be greatly appreciated!

dtinth · 2015-06-06T08:11:10Z

Well, I think it's not legal to distribute the converted font. I saw one project that publishes such a modified font and was taken down by a DMCA notice.

dtinth · 2015-06-06T08:13:33Z

But yeah, this tool is quite problematic too. I also failed to run my own tool on another Mac. If I am able to fix it, then perhaps you can try again.

Another immediate solution, I guess, is to convert the font on a Linux machine. However, the convenient script will not work.

1maverick1 · 2015-06-06T08:18:00Z

You can share it on Dropbox and I could download it soon as before it takes
down. I guess they won't take down unless if the creator of the font had
complained to DMCA.

Kindly convert the font it's more than enough for me!

I'm unable to convert it on Linux! I tried different homebrew that is
called linuxbrew. it didn't successfully convert it.

I can't get it to work on a new MacBook either, but I was able to get it to work on Ubuntu Linux. So, on Ubuntu, don't use homebrew; use its package manager.

sudo apt-get install fontforge python-fontforge

Now fontforge should work in your Linux box flawlessly.

python -c 'import fontforge; print "FontForge works in Python"'

Now you can patch your fonts, just remember to copy HelveticaNeueDeskInterface.ttc into the repo directory before patching:

bin/patch 'System Font Regular' 'FabulouslyFantasticFontName-Regular.otf'

Sorry for these inconvenience, but I've got a lot of ~~livin'~~other work to do.

redkurn · 2016-02-22T20:30:32Z

after following the suggestions from the previous guy having issues, i got it to work, but...

Unable to convert font! Error: Couldn't find a font file named /Users/x/Desktop/Bauhaus-Regular.ttf(/Users/x/Desktop/Bauhaus-Regular.ttf(Bauhaus ITC))

redkurn · 2016-02-22T20:34:00Z
