This is a know issue with the font dialog not working on OSX 10.6. It will be resolved when a new version of wxPython is released. There is nothing that can be done about it till a new version of the libraries Editra relies on are released, so please refrain from reporting this issue any further.

So when a version of Editra that officially supports OSX 10.6 is ready an announcement will be made.

Thanks,

Official support for python2.4 has been dropped for all Editra related components. If you are still using 2.4 most things should still work but I will no longer be supplying eggs for python2.4.

note: title updated to 1.5, 1.4 was replaced within 24 hours due to a windows specific critical bug fix.
