I updated my mac osx to Mountain Lion and the latest java and now the hiero font tool is not working. Anybody else having this problem?

Hiero hasn't worked on my Mac for a while now, never figured out why.... I was getting quite frustrated with the random crashing and load time and lack of options anyway so I found alternatives. If you don't mind spending a bit of cash, I can highly recommend GlyphDesigner. I have been using it for almost a year and I love it, well worth the money! http://glyphdesigner.71squared.com

EDIT :

Sorry, nothing...

I make an error, I didn't read that the op was on a mac...

Sorry again.

Thanks Shinkiro but non of them work I might try compiling it myself and see if that helps.

I might try Glyph Design when I get some extra cash probably until the end of the month.

Thanks everyone.

I'm using http://www.bmglyph.com/ , it works very well and costs a third of Glyph Designer.
