Glad to hear it. The readme.txt file explains how to switch the graphics client, if you prefer the other one. Yes the qt client is quite different than the gtk3.22 client. I prefer it because it has more features but I agree there are icons that I have no idea of what they are. The menus look OK to ...

OK, I think I fixed that problem with the dyld: Library not loaded, and put a newer zip file up in the dropbox. So give it another try. Also, if it launches by dropping an executable on the Terminal icon, it should also launch by double-clicking on the app icon.

Oh well, it was worth a try, but I've seen this warning before and it's not related to the font problem. Your best bet is to try the Homebrew install, I just had to go through that again myself. It takes awhile, but seems to work OK - gets the 2.6.6 version with gtk3.22 client.

That's weird - don't know what's up. I'm also running 11.6 and it works for me.

I don't have any expertise in how fonts are handled by Freeciv, so I may not be able to help much. My first guess is that your computer is set up to have a default language that is not English, if so you can try changing that. The 2.6.2 version was made by someone else using a different process and ...

Thanks, I didn't know that.
