fontfinder
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Zig program to find fonts to solve my [mlterm](https://github.com/elerch/vcsh_mlterm)
|
|
font configuration problem. See https://github.com/elerch/vcsh_mlterm/blob/master/.mlterm/aafont
|
|
for more information on this.
|
|
|
|
See `fontfinder -h` for usage. For mlterm, you may want to use a different
|
|
pattern, specifically the default, but without spacing:
|
|
|
|
`-p :regular:normal:slant=0`
|
|
|
|
This was built with [Zig 0.11.0-dev.3886+0c1bfe271](https://github.com/marler8997/zig-unofficial-releases#0110-dev38860c1bfe271-summary).
|
|
The intent is to rebuild with Zig 0.11 when released, but the version above
|
|
is close enough that it should work at that time.
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
This is not fully `zig build` friendly, since it links to system libraries.
|
|
Specifically, you need to have [fontconfig](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/)
|
|
and dependencies installed. The include files are pulled from fontconfig 2.14.1,
|
|
which is the version in debian bullseye, but he system library still needs to
|
|
linked.
|
|
|
|
To help with the build, a Dockerfile exists in this repository that can be used
|
|
to create a docker image with the appropriate zig version and system libraries.
|
|
the shell script `zig-via-docker` will then act as a drop in replacement
|
|
for installed `zig`, passing all commands through to the container. That script
|
|
is set up for podman (same as docker, but allows running without root)
|
|
and a docker image named `fontfinder`.
|
|
|
|
This is a personal project, so happy for others to use it, but if you want things
|
|
to improve, you will need to file a PR. ;-)
