The deb doesn't seem to contain the fonts, and the librecad .lff's aren't supported. I ended up downloading the community version of qcad and extracting the fonts into one of the primary directories of the error message. (/usr/share/pycam/fonts or something along those lines)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Caution: qcad community build 3.7 fonts and pycam 0.5.1 will not work. RomanS.cxf has 6 lines that end with a comma. These cause pycam to crash when importing them.
Fix: Remove the 6 extraneous commas; or, remove the incompatible font file; or, apply this patch:
Hi guys
Pycam window > Extras > Engrave text >
ERROR "No fonts were found on your system. Please check the Log Window for details."
Where do I find the LOG?
so I can post up the details and get some help to get this function working?
thanks for reading and looking forward to your help :-D
Hi alexr,
the "log window" can be found in the "view" menu. There you will find all messages.
Please report back with the details!
cheers,
Lars
to be a bit more specific:
- v0.5.1: menu "window"
- svn trunk: menu "view"
