OCTAVE MAC INSTALL MAC OS

ProductName: Mac OS ~ % fc-cache -version I tried switching to that, and it cleaned things up code is readable As a workaround, could you try switching to the Menlo font for your Editor and Command ~ % sw_vers Menlo is available as an option in the font dropdowns in Preferences. I'll bet that Octave is just falling back to the first font in the list when it doesn't find its preferred font(s). Al Bayan and Andale Mono are the first fonts in the list of all fonts and monospace fonts, respectively. Looking at Preferences shows that it's using the font 'Al Bayan' for the Editor and Andale Mono for the terminal/Command Window. The Editor font especially is pretty unusable. The fonts in the Command Window and Editor are all futzed up. So it looks like the cache was created, but not properly populated.) (I'm guessing because the original fc-cache run produced at least an empty ~/.cache/fontconfig dir. If I re-run Octave.app again, it launches with the welcome dialog, and doesn't show the 'Do the font cache thing?' dialog. Users/janke/Library/Fonts: failed to write cacheДЄfter that, Octave.app fails to launch I'm assuming the launcher script bails out due to the fc-cache error. What happens when you try a couple different fonts for your Default font? In particular, try Menlo and Monaco, since those are OS-supplied fonts that should be good on any macOS install. On one of the broken machines, could you pull up the font preferences ('octave-gui' menu > Preferences, 'Editor Styles' tab), see what it says for your default font, and see what it looks like when you click one of the dropdowns to display a list of fonts? It should look like this: I wonder if maybe we're running in to some of Catalina's new system protection features?

OCTAVE MAC INSTALL HOW TO

If you want to try installing 4.4.0 first and then 4.4.1, if it's not a bother for you, could you leave one of your machines in this 'broken' state while I do some research on fontcache and figure out how to diagnose this? You're the first user to report this issue, but there may well be others (maybe other 10.15 Catalina users) who encountered this and just gave up on Octave.app without reporting it, so I'd like to try to figure this out.

We should probably update the docs to be more clear about that. Your diagnostic dump and envДЄctually, if you don't need to use Java code in your Octave applications (and most users don't), you can ignore that Java requirement entirely! It's only strict about the required Java version if you want Java to work inside your Octave. Looks like you're running macOS 10.15 Catalina I'm running 10.14 and haven't tested on 10.15 as much. Thanks for including the diagnostic dump. I didn't think Octave modified those dirs, since it uses fontcache, which I think reads those dirs but writes its output somewhere else. That's a weird message about reverting mtime on those Fonts directories. This is something I haven't encountered before.

I considered installing 4.4.0, then 4.4.1, but the install guide for 4.4.0 was very strict about the Java version, and I am reluctant to go down that rat-hole (no offense intended to rats). system -sGenericResourceDir=/Applications/Octave-4.4.1.app/Contents/Resources/usr/opt/ghostscript/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/ -sFontResourceDir=/Applications/Octave-4.4.1.app/Contents/Resources/usr/opt/ghostscript/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/FontДЇ77=/Applications/Octave-4.4.1.app/Contents/Resources/usr/bin/gfortranДЇC=/Applications/Octave-4.4.1.app/Contents/Resources/usr/bin/gfortran
