FontLab in Snow Leopard

07 september 2009

Za tiste, ki nimajo licenčnega FontLaba, in niso deležni prijaznih pisem.

The current versions of FontLab’s applications for Mac OS X require the Rosetta library to be installed in Mac OS X. Rosetta is not enabled by default in Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6).

Enabling Rosetta

Rosetta is a small (2 MB) library that comes with Mac OS X and enables Intel Macs to run PowerPC code. Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 installed Rosetta by default. Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard does not. If you’re installing Mac OS X 10.6 yourself, you can choose the “Customize” option during installation, and enable Rosetta so that it will be installed on your system.

If you already have Mac OS X 10.6 installed on your computer, and try to launch one of FontLab’s installers, a dialog box should appear telling you “To open this application, you need to install Rosetta. Would you like to install it now?” Choose “Install” and proceed with the Rosetta installation. After it is complete, install the FontLab application as usual.
We have tested most of our major applications on Mac OS X 10.6 and have not found any incompatibilities.
You can find out more about Rosetta and our applications in this technote.
