Hi John, Thanks for the recommendations. I probably has tried that in thrashing around but carefully trying it didn't make and difference.
I finally realized in my dumbhead fashion that qcad was not loaded. I've tried it from time to time but it just wasn't my style. So.. downloaded and installed qcad. Carefully adjusted the font path to the install and tried again. No joy. Then moved a couple of fonts to my home directory and changed the path in engrave. Still no joy. By the way: IRRC the text is supposed to show up in the four quadrant window to the left of "fill in the variables area". It doesn't. Interestingly enough there was no error messages I saw for the missing font directory. ;-) Where do I go from here. Just call me 'wandering in the wilderness'. ;-) dave On Thu, 2014-09-11 at 05:57 -0500, John Thornton wrote: > Did you click Recalculate then Send to Clipboard? > > Works for me. > > JT > > On 9/10/2014 10:50 AM, dave wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I'm trying to run engrave-11.py and although it comes up and I can fill > > in the parameters I want I seem to get no output. > > > > Ubuntu 10.04 LTS > > Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Feb 27 2014, 19:44:14) > > > > clipboard which works with vim and gedit doesn't contain > > any output. > > > > I'm apparently missing something that ought to be obvious but > > so far I've not stumbled over it. > > > > A gentle shove in the right direction would be appreciated. > > > > TIA > > > > Dave > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Want excitement? > > Manually upgrade your production database. > > When you want reliability, choose Perforce > > Perforce version control.
