#FONTFORGE WINDOWS DOWNLOAD INSTALL#
I'm getting this error when Homebrew tries to install fontforge:
![fontforge windows download fontforge windows download](https://linux-cdn.softpedia.com/screenshots/FontForge_3.png)
I had to do it that way because brew linkapps didn't work for me. Īfter I did that and ran sudo brew install fontforge, the installation finally completed successfully! The one last thing I had to do before I could run it like a normal program was: ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/fontforge/20110222/FontForge.app /Application. Using a plain text editor, open /usr/local/Library/Formula/glib.rb, delete its contents (maybe make a backup first), and replace them with the contents of this file. By enabling verbose mode in homebrew and doing a little sleuthing at github, I found a fix.

I could see that the problem was caused by a 404 on a patch file. Install fontforge, second attempt, and success! We can't get fontforge installed until this glib library is installed. But when I did this, it failed when installing a glib library.

Homebrew figures all that out, downloads what it needs to, compiles stuff, and you can just watch the code in the terminal and feel all super powerful.

And these dependencies have their own dependencies. Homebrew should already know about fontforge, and will determine that it has some dependencies. At your commandline, type: sudo brew install fontforge. But it's a big download that will probably take an hour or longer. Homebrew does require xcode, which is a free download from the apple store. I mean sudo /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL )". I already had homebrew installed, but if I remember correctly, I had to run the ruby command using sudo.

I only had one glitch in the installation process, and once I got over that, the installation completed. It's (almost) an easy process, so don't be scared. So to install it, it must be compiled from source. Nor for Windows or Linux, for that matter. There are no current "normal" installer for Mac.

Clunkier, and possibly more powerful in some areas. FontForge makes me think of Gimp, which is a free, open source graphics manipulation program that is equivalent to Photoshop. Some say it's even more capable than FontLab Studio, which costs around $650 and seems to be what is most often recommended. In my research into font creation software, there was one free & open source piece that came to the top: FontForge.
