I also created a .txt file in TextWrangler. It still didn’t work.
While creating an htaccess file is somewhat of a hassle, in principle it is not too much of a hardship if it were successful. The jury, of course, is still out on that.
I am nevertheless curious about an exchange on this forum with Robert Ziebol (@zeebe) of Team Workman on June 1st of this year:
I enquired: “Are you having to create an htaccess file in order for Font Pro to work?”
He replied: “Nope, no htaccess file is necessary”.
Wondering, therefore, why it is.
