Fonts doesn't load on `transforms` example

Open ofluffydev opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

On Arch Linux with Hyprland, and having installed all of the following fonts:

    ttf-noto
    ttf-linux-libertine
    ttf-unifont
    ttf-arimo-nerd
    ttf-unifont-bin
    noto-fonts
    ttf-dejavu
    ttf-liberation
    gnu-unifont

The buttons still show the box ascii character instead of the arrows mentioned in the code.

I'm not entirely sure this is a xilem issue, but I have all the fonts the characters could be in, and they do show up in other apps, just now xilem ones.

Asked someone else through Discord to try it, they had the same issue.

Would you be willing to open an issue against Fontique (which is in the https://github.com/linebender/parley repository). Even just testing those characters in the Vello Editor example should be plenty. That ensures that it gets seen by the right people.

The font matching code on Linux is known to be deficient - see for example #parley > Fontconfig backend for fontique - why not FFI?.
