I have done, apt-get install fontforge on my ubuntu system. When i do import fontforge in my python code, it throws error as, No module named fontforge.

When i do, pip install fontforge, it throws error as,,

 Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement fontforge (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for fontforge

How can i install fontforge's python libs?

回答1:

You may want to install python-fontforge.

sudo apt-get install python-fontforge

After that you should be able to import fontforge in ubuntu's default python version.

You can verify by doing /usr/bin/python -c "import fontforge;print(fontforge)". This should now print the path to the fontforge python module.

Try installing a specific version

pip install fontforge==1.0

For me , the above command completes without errors. If any errors, upgrade pip using

pip install --upgrade pip

And try again. You may try allow externally hosted files also.

pip install --allow-all-external fontforge
