I seem to have a problem with missing font(s) on my MacBook Pro.
Can anybody point me where to go to sort this out?

The fonts ought to be in FGDATA under Fonts/
Perhaps you should redownload FGDATA and copy and paste in the Fonts foldee?

Found this in my log:

Code (): Select all
opengl:5:/Users/jenkins/jenkins-root/workspace/Mac-nightly/flightgear/src/Canvas/FGCanvasSystemAdapter.cxx:61:canvas::Text: Failed to open font file Path "/Applications/FlightGear.app/Contents/Resources/data/Fonts/LiberationFonts/LiberationSans-Bold.ttf"

The fonts seems to be in the right place.
