it seems the right command is python3 -m pip install fontparts fontmake

but now : ImportError: /mnt/ramdisk/amiga-bitmap-font-tools/python/lib/python3.10/site-packages/fontTools/misc/bezierTools.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: failed to map segment from shared object

[gingerbeardman]

Even with python3 -m pip install fontparts fontmake

I'm getting the same error

Hello @jaymanu79 @gingerbeardman! Thanks for logging and contributing to this issue. So when I wrote the documentation for this, I was on a Mac running solely Python 3.10 I think. I hadn't anticipated the level of interest that this project has generated and didn't beef up the docs accordingly. I think your issues are different. I'll respond to each in separate comments if you don't mind.

@jaymanu79 @gingerbeardman This applies to both of you. What versions of Python do you have available to you? What do you get if you just type python -V in a terminal? What about python3 -V?

[smugpie]

@gingerbeardman if you have a version 2 and a version 3 of Python installed, then just use python3 everywhere. Don't use python. What happens if you then run python3 ./openAmigaFont.py -i diamond.font -o diamond.otf -f otf?

[smugpie]

@jaymanu79 what OS are you running? The pathname in the error message suggests you're running this in a ramdisk? There might be permissions errors on that disk preventing you from running it there maybe?

[gingerbeardman]

I'm macOS 12.7

% python -V
Python 3.11.5
% python3 -V
Python 3.11.5

using python3, same error

[jaymanu79]

Hello Thanks for your attention.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04

python3 -V Python 3.10.6

I tried your script on my home folder instead of ramdisk, and yes it worked like a charm ! Thanks for the work.

Glad all is working and thanks for letting me know! I shall close the issue once @gingerbeardman is sorted too.
