To use 0.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion you need to install freetype 2 manually.

Re: Teeworlds for mac

You have 2 options to install freetype2.

1. Option
The most easy and probably best solution is to use macports. Simply follow the instructions here to install macports properly. After you have done this, you open a terminal and type the following command:

sudo port install freetype

This will automatically download and install freetype2 on your system (it might take a while, since freetype2 and all it's dependencies will get compiled).

2. Option
The second option is to download the freetype2 sources and compile and install them manually (this is much more complicated, so you will probably just want to go for option 1). To do this, you will first need to install Xcode (you can get this from the mac appstore). After XCode has sucessfully been installed, run it and go to its preferences. Open the "Downloads" tab and you will see a list of additional tools you can install. Install the "Command Line Tools" by clicking on the install button right next to them. After they have been installed, download the latest version of the sources of freetype2 from here and extract the downloaded files. Now open a terminal and change to the folder in which the sources are now, this will look similar to this:

cd Downloads/freetype-2.4.10

(note that 2.4.10 is currently the most recent version, it might be a different number for you)

Now continue typing in the Terminal:

./configure
make
sudo make install

This will compile and install freetype2 on your system.

Again, I would strongly reccomend you to use the first option, because it is much more convenient and you are also able to update freetype (and a lot of other useful programs) using macports, instead of recompiling and manually installing everything on your own.

Note that this will not only work on 10.7, but on all systems lacking freetype (I think 10.8 does, too, e.g.)

I hope my instructions will help you.

Yep, the GUI fanboys who don't even know how to open a shell…

I don't know much about OS X but the Terminal is usually in an "Accessories" folder or some like that…

To the topic:
His question was how to install teeworlds on mac and not why there are no letters and numbers on screen. So why did you guys bring up freetype?

Once in a century...

Re: Teeworlds for mac

You can find the terminal in "Programs/Utilities".
You can also use spotlight to search the terminal app. Just hit cmd+space and enter "terminal" (without the "") and it will be found immediately (you can also start it from there directly).

Well, you are kind of right, we just assumed that he did try simply downloading the teeworlds app and noticed that it did not work (and the reason for that would probably be the missing freetype). If our assumption was wrong, here is how to just install teeworlds on a mac:
1. Go to the downloads page of the teeworlds website and download the mac os x universal binary (0.6.1).
2. click on the downloaded .dmg package to open it.
3. Drag the teeworlds app to the applications folder (or to some folder inside the applications folder, if you prefer to have your stuff organized properly)
