Latest version of FS doesn't seem to work with 2.79

Closed this issue · 1 comments

I install the addon from the site but when I click on it to add to blender Mac (in the user preferences) it throws an error consistently. Strangely though it seems an older version (1.25) will install correctly.

Hi, yes there is two answers to this problems :

  • first of all, new version of FS (v2x) will are only for Blender 2.8x, if you want to stick with Blender 2.7x, please use the v1.25 ([https://github.com/samytichadou/FontSelector_blender_addon/tree/version1_blender_2_7x])
  • when downloading something through github "clone or download" button, github will automatically add a suffix in the name (the branch name) and put a "-" character in it, which is a special character and could prevent Blender to see the addon as installed. You have to get rid of these special characters by hand, i know it is a bummer, but that is how it works for now with this platform... sorry about that

cheers dude, and thanks for using FS ;)
