Description of problem: $ python Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 21 2009, 12:22:21) [GCC 4.4.1 20090818 (Red Hat 4.4.1-6)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import fontforge Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> SystemError: Missing library: libfontforge >>> Fontforge's Python module expects a libfontforge.so file, but fontforge only provides libfontforge.so.1 and libfontforge.so.1.0.0. Creating a symlink libfontforge.so -> libfontforge.so.1 works. Either fontforge should include the symlink or the fontforge Python module should use the specific symlink. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fontforge-20090622-2.fc12.i686 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. python 2. import fontforge 3. Actual results: Traceback Expected results: Successful import Additional info:
I fixed this in devel/rawhide a while ago, but didn't push a f12 build. I'll have to look and see if doing so will cause problems. We don't want to get in the situation where an upgrade to fontforge causes fonts to no longer build...
Sorry for the delay here. Turns out there was a typo in my patch. It didn't ever work, but no one told me so, and my test machine was messed up in a way that made it work. ;) Please test the f13/f12 builds and add karma if they work for you. Thanks very much for the report!

"python -c 'import fontforge'" works now without the symlink workaround, tested fontforge-20090622-3.fc12 on i686. The Karma comment stuff is too hard to use, so I won't.
No worries. Thanks for testing.
