TextBox cann't work----freetype.ft_errors

Hello~
I am having trouble with the use of ‘TextBox’ to show text stimuli .The error message shows as below:
‘’’
File “F:\ResearchSoftwares\PsychoPy3\lib\site-packages\freetype_init_.py”, line 989, in init
if error: raise FT_Exception( error )
freetype.ft_errors.FT_Exception: FT_Exception: (cannot open resource)
‘’’
The version I download is windows- psychopy-v3.03-Standard-Standalone .And I find the demo cannot work either.
I tried a lot of solutions introduced online,but they didn’t work.
Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? Many many thanks!

Same here (3.03, OsX):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I am also experiencing the same issues with PsychoPy3 on my Mac…

Update:

I tried installing FreeType following these instructions which updates the error to:

I’m unsure whether that’s getting closer to the solution or not though…

I’ll have to look into the packaging to see if we can package freetype (or maybe it is being packaged but not detected) but in the meantime could you try installing freetype on the mac using homebrew?

brew install freetype
