Changes in system requirements

[MacTerrassa]

On their main page they continue to indicate system 10.10 Yosemite as a requirement to use their application. On github, I have not found any other mention or indicating any changes. The 1.8.4 application package downloaded, from finder it still indicates 10.10 as a requirement. However, if I open it with Apparency, from Mothers Ruin, several of the libraries used require 10.13 HighSierra system. Seeing as even the included Python version requires it, can it really be used correctly in 10.10 Yosemite? As I suppose it will not be like that, and although I am using the 14 Sonoma system, perhaps it would be appreciated if you changed those obsolete requirements to the actual ones of the latest versions.
Although I like it better when programs maintain the original requirements, I understand that things change. But then the correct thing would be to indicate and recognize these changes, to clarify to the potential user whether or not it is possible to use the program in each case. And avoid useless claims that waste everyone's time, users and programmer. Thank you.

FontGoggles 1.8.2 still works on macOS 10.10.

I am not 100% sure what parts since then stopped working on that system, but I can confirm that neither 1.8.3 nor 1.8.4 work on macOS 10.10.

Maybe this indeed means the end of FontGoggles' support for macOS 10.10, but I am not confident what the lowest supported version now could be.

Not sure if this is related to system requirements but .designspace files don't work anymore when running FG 1.8.4 on macOS 10.14 (Mojave). Other file types (UFOs, TTFs) show up fine when dropped onto FG.

Any chance you can give me more info? Best to start FG in Terminal: path/to/FontGoggles.app/Contents/MacOS/FontGoggles

Hope this helps:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.

We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

    https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html

Please note and check the following:

  * The Python version is: Python3.12 from "/Applications/FontGoggles.app/Contents/MacOS/python"
  * The NumPy version is: "2.2.1"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.
