The Mac OS X demo version of Fontographer 5.0 installed and ran great on my Mac iBook G3. Unfortunatly the final shipping version does not run on the G3. It installs but upon launch it bounces in the dock and then quits. The crash log shows "incompatible cpu-subtype", see below:
..................
OS Version: Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Build 8S165)
Processor: 600 MHz PowerPC G3
Command: Fontographer 5
Path: /Applications/Fontographer 5/Fontographer 5.app/Contents/MacOS/Fontographer 5
Version: 5.0.0 (3819) (5.0.0)
Link (dyld) error: incompatible cpu-subtype
...............
This omission seems to be easy to overlook when creating the final build of the application. This same error occured in two updated Mac applications recently: "Perian" and "Whatsize" both had the same "incompatible cpu-subtype" error on G3 Macs. Both developers were able to release new builds whithin a few days. Only one day in the case of Perian.
One developer documented his fix with the note: "In the problematic build settings, I hadn't specified anything for 'Mac OS X Deployment Target', which meant that -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 wasn't getting passed to gcc. Apparently leaving this out changes the cpusubtype to 10, which makes the code incompatible with G3."
Looking forward to a fix. Thanks.
