Hi, I run Fontlab studio 5.1.3 on both my Mac Pro and Macbook Pro. On both Yosemite is the OS. On my MacPro (almost) everything is working, but on my MacbookPro the "assign to keyboard" button is not working, clicking on button or triangle next to it is doing nothing. So, it works on MacPro but not on MacBookPro, any idea? Thanks!

    The interface problems I had with my MacBook pro and Yosemite were caused by a workspace I had tried to import from another Mac. Even erasing all workspaces and the preferences file in the usual way was not enough, FL seemed to 'remember' the settings of the problematic workspace. I solved it by creating a new user in the Mac BookPro, installing a clean FL there, and then taking its workspace to the main user. Then, FL behaved again like after a very first install and all the weird UI problems got solved.

    Unfortunately that’s not fixing my problem. :/

    Hi Pieter! I've asked a couple of my FontLab colleagues if they can help. Contacting tech support is often a useful route for this, for a much faster response.  :)

    The solution was: quit Fontlab, moving the workspace and preference files to the desktop, restart Fontlab, quit again, move back the workspace and preference files to the place where they belong. Fixed!
