FontraI just noticed that a kind soul contributed a homebrew formula for Fontra Pak.
This means if you are a homebrew user on macOS, you can install Fontra Pak with this command:
brew install --cask fontra-pak
Just van Rossum@fontra While I am generally not a fan of homebrew for installing developer-oriented tools and libraries (I seem to be forever stuck with a broken ruby install), it seems to be less intrusive (pretty good even?) for end-user app installs. For example, it installs Fontra Pak from the official latest released .dmg file right into /Applications.
Btw. there is also a formula for FontGoggles:
brew install --cask fontgoggles
John Armstrong@justvanrossum @fontra @drawBot I have over 100 apps installed with homebrew. It makes updating an app or all of my apps much less painful.
I’m very glad to see the Fontra app included in Homebrew now too!
@justvanrossum @fontra I had that happen with a formula or two before. Uninstalling it and then re-installing it did the trick. Formulas can go out of date if you haven’t upgraded them recently.
Though, for programming languages I prefer https://mise.jdx.dev/
It makes it very easy to use a version of say Python or Node per project, manage cli tools like fontTools, automatically activate python environments, or set env variables too
