RoboFab, FontTools, DialogKit, Vanilla Combo

This is a zip with RoboFab + FontTools + DialogKit + Vanilla. You might still need to install Numpy if you want to do TTX things. Otherwise, this the the trunk version of RoboFab (rev 483), the trunk version of FontTools (rev 589), the trunk version of DialogKit and Vanilla (both at rev 989). Recommended by the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook for FontLab 5.1 on OSX 10.7.

Additional information about installing RoboFab on 10.7 for FontLab 5.1 can be found on the Robofab mailing list

RoboFab rev.491 + latest svn FontTools and DialogKit + Vanilla

RoboFab Only

Zip with just RoboFab. You'd still need to install FontTools, DialogKit, possibly Numpy and perhaps also Python.

RoboFab rev.491

Download RoboFab from SVN

If you have svn installed and you're comfortable working with it, you might consider getting the latest revisions directly from the repository. This also gives you access to branch versions of RoboFab. Note that if you go this way rather than one of the installers, you have to take care of all the dependencies yourself.

Trac + SVN

Old downloads

For whatever reason you might need these, here they are. Not maintained, repaired or otherwise subject to any kind of attention. If you don't know for sure you need one of these, please use the current release.

Special one-click installer for RoboFab 1.2, FontTools 2.1+, DialogKit 0.1b and Numpy 1.0.4 for OSX 10.6 and earlier. This will install all dependencies compiled for PPC, and Python2.3.5 the way FontLab 5.0x likes it. Support for UFO2.
