Q: Any chance to use Live Type
Hi
I used to edit my own stuff since the early G3 days. I started with Prismo Graphics India and then upgraded to Live Type. I have a quick project to do and never bothered to install Motion (nor do I want to have to learn it) Live type 2.1.3 opens in El Capitan and seems to work except for one thing I cannot click on the install fonts button as it is greyed out. Can anyone suggest a workaround
Thanks

If your template used Live Fonts, you're hosed. Live Fonts don't work in El Capitan and they've been removed from Motion since the introduction of Motion 5. Motion 4 is also dead (you can't even launch it - it has the ⃠ symbol emblazoned on its icon) so you cannot even load up the livetype project in motion and run it. I think it's been over seven years since LiveType was discontinued... Motion is your next best bet. (It's also orders of magnitude easier to use than LiveType... but you still don't get LiveFonts.)
Do you still have access to an older Mac? Running Mavericks (maybe Mountain Lion) or older?
