Pango-ERROR **: 15:00:15.810: Harfbuzz version too old (1.3.1)

Gtk-Message: 15:00:15.552: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

(BOOLR:4675): Pango-ERROR **: 15:00:15.810: Harfbuzz version too old (1.3.1)

I get this error when i want to run the program on arch

my harbuzz is the newest version

I have the exact same issue on my machine! Also arch...

(boolr:3986): Pango-ERROR **: 17:44:59.657: Harfbuzz version too old (1.3.1)

This is the exact error msg I get, while trying to start boolr from the terminal. Pacman reports Harfbuzz version: 2.6.1.1!

@Htou I think this means that version of harfbuzz that BOOLR had bin built for was 1.3.1. The version you have is newer and not compatible. You could try downgrading your harfbuzz package.

Hi guys, I downgraded pango to v1.42 and works!

If anyone still hitting this then try instead to use the Flatpak package here: #58

On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (amd64):

1. sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4
2. sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module
3. copy into the executable folder the following 3 libraries:

• libpango-1.0.so.0
• libpangocairo-1.0.so.0
• libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 from the .deb packages version 1.40 (as described in the First Solution in the first answer here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/589993/pango-error-harfbuzz-version-too-old)
