FontForge not installed properly! Please install FontForge with Python scripting support first. #17
Comments
I got the same problem! |
Same here. I take it there's not a fix for this yet? |
Having this same problem. All I want to do is convert Myriad Set Pro. |
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. |
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"' |
@dtinth I'm getting this error: Even I tried to convert the fonts manually using terminal the same error shows up as the screenshot. |
Would you mind sending the Avenir Next font please? |
Any update?... |
@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... |
Could you tell me
It should say
If it says
Then please try running the script again. |
Here is the complete result i re-install and follow up your commands:
Please let me know how can i fix this issue? even when i did the clean installation and ran the script, still i'm getting the error as the above screenshot. |
Hello. Many thanks for a detailed report. I'm quite busy now and don't have much Please try uninstalling fontforge first, then install Python: brew install python Then install fontforge again. On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 9:05 PM, Sulaiman notifications@github.com wrote:

@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! |
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. |
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. |
You can share it on Dropbox and I could download it soon as before it takes Kindly convert the font it's more than enough for me! Regards, On 6 June 2015 at 15:13, Thai Pangsakulyanont notifications@github.com

Wouldn't you help to resolve this case? Regards, On 6 June 2015 at 15:54, Sulaiman Kuthubdeen kbg.sulaiman@gmail.com wrote:

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.
Now fontforge should work in your Linux box flawlessly.
Now you can patch your fonts, just remember to copy
Sorry for these inconvenience, but I've got a lot of ~~livin'~~other work to do. |
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)) |
thats from my desktop, i'm going to try from the folder it created. |
still failed... |
