FAQ- Cannot install ML2 fonts as Admin in Mac OS X 10.6
Download
Background
MUSIC LESSONS II uses a specialized font to display music symbols on the screen. On Mac OS X fonts are typically found in one of two places:
- /Library/Fonts folder
- <HOME>/Library/Fonts folder
where <HOME> represents the user's home folder.
If fonts are installed in the top level /Library/Fonts folder they will be available to all users. If the fonts are installed in the user home folder they will be available only to that user.
The MUSIC LESSONS II disk image has two scripts shown under Step 2 that can be used to install the fonts in one of those two folders.
Problem
On Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) when you double click the "Install Fonts Requires Admin Password.app" icon you get an error message.
The error is generated by the third party program we used to create the installer. The error did not occur under previous versions of Mac OS X.
Solution
Double click the ML2 Extras folder shown in the disk image folder under Step 3. When the ML2 Extras folder opens, copy the fonts-ml2.zip file to your Desktop.
Double click the fonts-ml2.zip file and a new fonts-ml2 folder will appear on the desktop.
Double click the fonts-ml2 folder to display it's contents.
Drag copy the MusiLes and MusiLess.dfont files into the /Library/Font folder
You may be asked to enter your Admin Password.
Reboot the computer and the MUSIC LESSONS II fonts will be available to all users.
You can now delete the fonts-ml2 folder and the fonts-ml2.zip file from the Desktop.
