FontLab VI crashes on startup

Modified on Thu, 7 Jul, 2022 at 11:22 PM

Issue:


When I try to open FontLab VI  it crashes and I get to see a crash report text message:


Solution:


This is the result of Monterey 12.4 update which removed Python 2.7. The solution is to download and install Python 2.7.18 using this original installer:


https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.18/python-2.7.18-macosx10.9.pkg


This is a safe operation and it should solve the issue.


We also recommend to upgrade FontLab IV to version 8 which is fully compatible with macOS Monterey.
