It keeps crashing on Mac

[maxy]

I was so damn excited for this games but every single time I've tried to open it, it shows me the logo then crashes. Nothing I do will fix it. I'm running on an iMac on El Capitan. Please someone help.

Please check if you have duplicated fonts in Font Book on your Mac. If so, try resolving the duplicates.

I just bought and played the entire game on my Macbook Pro in one sitting, not a single problem in any way... amazing game.

How is this done?

Hi guys, I had this same problem (under OS/X El Capitan) and I appear to have solved it. Here's what I did:

1) Open up a Terminal window and enter "sudo opensnoop", and enter the Administrator password. This launches the Apple utility "opensnoop" which will print out (among other things) all of the files that a program is loading.
2) Run "The Beginner's Guide" from the Steam app, as usual, and watch it crash on startup
3) Go back to the Terminal window, and from its Edit menu choose "Save Text To..." and save all the text in the Terminal to a file
4) Open that file in a Text editor and search backwards for the last occurence of the word "Font" in the file. That will find the last font file that "The Beginner's Guide" accessed just before it crashed. For me it was "Trebuchet MS".
5) Open FontBook and disable the offending font. Then close FontBook and try running "The Beginner's Guide" again. This time it runs, yay! :)

Found a quick and easy solution, verify the game files, worked for me, and hasn't crashed. Copying and pasting onto the other thread as well. Hope this helps.
