I got makepkg working and chromeos fonts installed properly by commenting out all lines in the ### cros-host-fonts section in the PKGBUILD and adding the following line

install -m644 -D ${srcdir}/${_pkgname}/cros-host-fonts/usr-share-fonts-chromeos.mount ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/systemd/system/usr-share-fonts-chromeos.mount

After installing arch then start and enable the unit by running

sudo systemctl enable usr-share-fonts-chromeos.mount --now

Restart linux and chromeos fonts should be installed in /usr/share/fonts

I finally got makepkg to work by editing the PKGBUILD, commenting all of the lines in the cros-host-fonts section and replacing it with the following:

edit: the code I originally wrote didnt do anything because Im a noob. Commenting out the code in the cros-host-fonts section is enough to get the package installed, but you might not have the fonts mounted as described below. This might affect firefox and some other apps, but you can check out the upstream comments for more info.

Yes, please. I'd like to nominate jgreen1tc to maintain this package. Is that how this works?

I understand this part: It basically just mounts /mnt/chromeos/fonts to /usr/share/fonts/chromeos.

But not this part so much: If you change the PKGBUILD to install this file as a systemd unit, then start/enable after install

I'm generally familiar with Linux but new to Arch. Not sure where to even start with trying to make this work. There are parts in the Arch container how-to regarding systemd, but I'm really just following directions there (which I'm very good at :).

I'm no longer using this, but I still get notifications here. I would guess this file to be of significant importance:

src/cros-container-guest-tools/cros-host-fonts/usr-share-fonts-chromeos.mount

It basically just mounts /mnt/chromeos/fonts to /usr/share/fonts/chromeos. If you change the PKGBUILD to install this file as a systemd unit, then start/enable after install, fonts might work. There is probably something else I'm missing, but that's where I would start.

Same issue as zedgoat below. Any ideas? Arch is the only path I know to getting a working Signal desktop client on an arm chromeos device.

Hello! I was following the guide at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chrome_OS_devices/Crostini, and when executing makepkg -si within cros-container-guest-tools-git its failing out with some of the font installs:

==> Starting package()...
install: cannot stat '/home/xxxx/Downloads/cros-container-guest-tools-git/src/cros-container-guest-tools/cros-host-fonts/05-cros-fonts.conf': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

It looks like the structure of the google package has changed since the last PKGBUILD update. Will try and have a dig around later re: fix, noting here in case anyone else has come across it.

Please add makedepends=('git')

This is required by VCS package guidelines [1]. Also makes makechrootpkg happy.
