From the example command to run the setup, a short script:
gene at coyote:~/src/F-Engrave-1.22_src$ cat py2exe_setup.py
#run this from the command line: python py2exe_setup.py py2exe

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(
    options = {"py2exe": {"compressed": 1, "optimize": 0, } },
    zipfile = None,
    console=[{"script":"f-engrave-122.py","icon_resources":
[(0,"fengrave.ico"),(0,"fengrave.ico")]}]

As shown on the setup page accompanying this

<http://www.scorchworks.com/Fengrave/fengrave.html#download>, lower left of 
the list at the top of the page.  Supposedly by using the src, I can build 
it with TTF support, which is missing from the file offered in the right 
most python only column.  All the other checks and tests on the setup page 
work, and all the other dependencies appear to have been met.

The setup file itself I find, shouldn't have been included in the zip 
without a README.linux that says to skip it.

The shipped fengrave-122.py actually runs but is not finding any fonts.  
There s/b quite a few installed since I have used TrueTypeTracer 
extensively before.  But I may have my machines mixed, and the computer 
running the milling machine is probably where I did all that.

I haven't had my morning coffee yet, so I am ill equipt to do more ATM.

Thank you.





Cheers, Gene
