Any possibility of a more widely available fallback font or do I need another package? [macOS]

/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python pcbPanelize
/Users/johnpateman/Kicad/kicadPanelizer/uiPanelize.py:211: PangoWarning: couldn't load font "Univers,Sans Condensed Not-Rotated 8", modified variant/weight/stretch as fallback, expect ugly output.
pangoTxtSpc = pangoLayout.get_pixel_size()[0]

Hello,

I am trying to execute the script uipanelize.py using my normal python 2.7 32 bit installation. But I can not import _pcbnew DLL. I copied some files from Kicad python installation to the normal python 2.7 library but... it doens't work.

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Had this starred for a while but prompted to try it agin following recent update. have now got this running on macOS by changing the top lines to;

#!/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Applications/pcbnew.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
  2 # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
  3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
  4
  5 import sys
  6 sys.path.insert(0, "/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/python/site-packages/")
  7 import pcbnew

However, am hitting a problem reading a current pcb file (from Kicad 5.0.2)

Hello! I use this project a lot and have fixed some issues I found with panelizing (mainly removing edges so I can add mousebites). Would you be able to add this project to the Code Shelter so we can help maintain it? Or is this actively maintained and it would be fine if I submitted my patches in a PR?

Thanks!

The UI elements such as buttons and labels have incorrect spacings with some implementations of GTK. The UI should use relative spacing as opposed to absolute. Here a screenshot from a Debian system (mind the cutoff button text and labels saying "Clear log vi" and "Margi"):

This is screenshot for describing application purpose.

Sometimes a break-away connection between the individual boars in a panel is required. The current version only offers continuous edges. An option to break the inner edges would be useful. Here is an example of what I mean:
