When you run TransType Pro for the first time it will know nothing about
macro programming and Python. The Macro pop-up menu is disabled.
This means that if you don’t want to use this feature you are not required
to and TransType Pro will work smoothly without any Python integration.
If you want to use macro programs or perhaps create some programs
yourself, however, you have to install the Python interpreter.
FontLab can work with the Python interpreter starting from version 2.2.1.
Versions 2.3 and 2.4 are recommended.
First, download it from the FontLab site:
http://www.fontlab.com/html/fontlab.html
or from the Python site:
http://python.org/ftp/python/2.2.3/Python-2.2.3.exe
After you download this file, run it and follow the instructions to install
Python.
