Re: [Ifeffit] Demeter on Windows with Inkscape (and possibly other programs)

2017-08-10 Thread Robert Gordon

Hi Bruce,

I am not experiencing this issue. I have Athena and Inkscape both open 
right now.
My environment variables list does not have FONTCONFIG_FILE in it. I 
have a vague
recollection of deleting that env var some time ago when changing 
versions of Demeter.


Regardless, Demeter is working for me without issue...Inkscape as 
well...so perhaps
a simple short-term fix is just to delete FONTCONFIG_FILE  from the env 
var list rather than

uninstalling Demeter.

Demeter 0.9.26 (pre 2)
Inkscape 0.92 (fresh install today)
win10x64, AMDx64

cheers,
Robert

Apparently, there is a problem in Demeter's installer that has an 
impact on the ability of that program (and possibly others) in 
accessing system font files.  The issue with Inkscape is described 
here: https://github.com/bruceravel/demeter/issues/51


I mention this here on the mailing list in an effort to help the folks 
who maintain Inkscape.


If you use Demeter and Inkscape on your Windows machine, there is a 
problem and it is my fault :(


The simplest solution is to uninstall Demeter, then continue using 
Inkscape.


If that's not true or if someone needs a better solution right now, 
post here and I will help you work out a solution.


I think the real fix to the problem is simple and I will work on a new 
installer this month.


Cheers,
B
