Other people have reported this issue, but I have been unable to duplicate it. Copy/Paste works fine for me in all versions of Mac OS/X which I have running. Which means I can't fix the problem since I can't duplicate it. The only thing I can think of is that Aqua is somehow grabbing the X11 clipboard -- there are reasons for doing this -- it would make the X11 clipboard fit better into the mac model. Or it would if it worked. All I've been able to think of is to add a preference item so fontforge will not use the X11 clip. A patch to this effect has already been posted to this list and is in the cvs tree. Of course, once you've built a new version of ff you still need to turn on the preference item to see if it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Fontforge-users mailing list Fontforge-users@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fontforge-users

Would it make some sense to cross-post this also to mailto:Xquartz- dev@..., http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/ listinfo.cgi/xquartz-dev ?

If you want to, sure. I have never actually seen the problem myself, so I'm just guessing. When I upgraded from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 everything worked. When I upgraded to the most recent developer tools (which upgrades X11) -- everything worked. Perhaps there is an intermediate version of developer tools which is broken. Perhaps only a full install (rather than an upgrade) shows the bug. But since I can't reproduce the issue, I can only speculate and am hesitant about making a bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?

Is there a preference now to get round it? There is a preference item to turn off X-clipboard sync that has worked for me. I'm not on a Mac but the same kind of problem occurs with the X clipboard manager I'm using ("parcellite"). A drawback is that I can't copy from one fontforge instance to another, but this isn't that bad, because fontforge can open more than one font at a time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!

Sigh. It was working in 10.6, but apple does seem to have broken it again in 10.6.1. This is not a fontforge bug, but an apple one. Various work-arounds have been presented on the list.
