REP requires the FreeType library to render fonts and graphics correctly. If FreeType is not installed or not detected on your Mac, REP will fail to load properly.
FreeType is an open-source software library used to render text in graphics and applications. It is a critical dependency for many programs, including REP.
To install FreeType on your Mac, follow these simple steps:
- Install Homebrew (if not already installed):
Homebrew is a package manager for macOS that simplifies the installation of software like FreeType.- Open the Terminal (search for “Terminal” in Spotlight or find it in the Applications > Utilities folder).
- Run the following command to install Homebrew:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
- Install FreeType using Homebrew:
- After Homebrew is installed, run this command in the Terminal:
brew install freetype
- After Homebrew is installed, run this command in the Terminal:
- Verify FreeType Installation:
- Once FreeType is installed, verify its presence by typing:
freetype-config --version - You should see the version number of the FreeType library displayed.
- Once FreeType is installed, verify its presence by typing:
- Restart REP or Your System (if needed):
- Close and reopen REP to ensure it detects the newly installed FreeType library.
- If issues persist, restart your computer.
