[fontforge-users] Setting preferences in XQuartz

[Kenneth Reid Beesley]

OK, if brew’s FontForge lacks a UI, it sound like I need to drop that approach.

Today I reinstalled the latest XQuartz.app (2.7.7). In the Finder, it shows up for some reason as
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app. The “Date Modified" time shows up as “Today,” so
it is new.

On fontforge.github.io/en-US/downloads/mac/, after selecting the Detailed Guide,
it tells me to “start XQuartz from Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app” (again, it shows
up as X11.app on my system). I launch it. I can see that it’s 2.7.7.

Then the instructions tell me to open the Preferences and “turn off the Enable keyboard
shortcuts under X11 or Enable key equivalents under X11.” I try to do that, but almost
immediately after the Preferences window appears, it DISappears, not giving me time
to edit the preferences.

Has anyone else seen and solved this problem?

Thanks,

Ken

My XQuartz is 2.7.7 and its filename is /Applications/Utilities/X11.app
like yours

The preferences window doesn't disappear for me, though

Hi Dave. Thanks for the message.

Try this:

$ cd /Applications/Utilities/
$ ls X*

Do you see X11.app or XQuartz.app?

On my system, when I launch X11/XQuartz, it appears to come and go.
That is, an “X11” icon repeatedly appears and disappears in the Dock.
And in the AppleMenu > Force quit list, X11 similarly comes and
goes.
