PyAssertionError

:

C++ assertion "status == noErr" failed at
/BUILD/wxPython-src-2.8.12.1/src/mac/carbon/font.cpp(489) in
MacFindFont(): couldn't modify ATSU style

It's running wx 2.8.12.1 (mac, unicode). I've searched around and some
places I've seen that the issue was fixed in 2.8.12.1 and others that
it can be raised if the default font is not installed/enabled, I think
that's lucida grande on mac? I've checked and the user has both the
Times font and Lucida Grande installed and enabled.

Has anyone else come across this issue or any ideas on how to remedy it?

Thanks!

Could you post the lines of code surrounding line 90?

Sure, it's just the call to App.__init__

88) class MainApp(wx.App):#, wx.lib.mixins.inspection.InspectionMixin):
89) def __init__(self, redirect=False, silent=False):
90) wx.App.__init__(self, redirect=redirect)
91) self.silent = silent
