Can't open/start Calibre

LuceC · 03-31-2010, 12:53 AM

Hello
I just downloaded Calibre for MAC X.
Moved it to my App folder. I opened it, set for English and used default for device. Opens for a second then closes. Tried opening again, gives me a peak for a second then closes.

I removed it, downloaded again, reinstalled and same thing. Really would like to give this application a try. I've been looking for a converter.

Running MacX 10.6.3

Ah you suffer from the dreaded OS X fonts bug, see

Unfortunately, I know of no reliable way to fix this.
