| Summary | 0008771: Cannot install Ardour 6.8 if the ardour website is open due to fonts being in use | ||||
| Description | I was just trying to download and install Ardour 6.8, but the installer was hitting an issue writing the new version of ArdourSans and ArdourMono fonts. When I tried to delete them manually, Windows indicated that Firefox has a lock on those files. I suspect the fonts got added to the system path somehow and Firefox used them preferentially over any webfont definitions you have in the website's CSS, but I haven't investigated that far. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Try to install Ardour 6.8 over a previous version of Ardour 6 while having the community.ardour.org website open in Firefox at the same time | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

This can happen if Ardour has crashed in the past. The solution is to reboot and then re-install Ardour. |

afaict Ardour exited normally after I closed the initial dialog with the prompt to upgrade (though I wasn't running a debug build previously either and so cannot confirm this). what I find odd is that after examining the styles on the download page again I can't find references to ArdourSans and ArdourMono (unless these are renamed ttf files for other fonts) - intriguing... |
