A parent writes in: we have a brand new Mac OS X version 10.7.2 - we bought this so my daughter could use the same programs as she was using at school - tux paint is the first program we have been trying to download on our computer. I went to the link you provided and tried to download the test link, still, no luck. The program is not responding, and I have to force it to quit. I am not sure what is going on! I've been keeping Martin Fuhrer (who ports Tux Paint to OS X) in the loop, but he's not been replying, so I imagine he's busy. Has anyone else out here tried Tux Pant on OS X 10.7.2, and if so, have you had any luck? The "test link" the parent is talking about is the build that Martin made more recently (long after 0.9.21 was officially released), to try and work around some fontconfig-related issues on newer Macs. It's posted over at http://www.tuxpaint.org/docs/known_issues/ Thanks in advance! -bill! |

Hi I'm also running the current version of Lion 10.7.2 (actually 10.7.2 server). The old version just crashes but Martin's test version works for me.

I have the same problem. TuxPaint was working fine until I "downgraded" to Lion (I think it wasn't worth the problems I've been having on my MacBookPro, but that's for another thread). Anyway, TuxPaint just started and stayed in the doc. I had to force quit it every time. So, using the Tux Paint Config App in the Applications folder I did the following which seems to allow me to use TuxPaint, but not full-screen but that's OK I suppose: 1) set the Video/Sound Tab's Window size to 1400x800 2) Uncheck the fullscreen and Native checkboxes if checked. 3) As mentioned in other areas make sure Load System Fonts under the Languages tab is unchecked.
