@scatherinch

I spoke with one of the firestorm devs or support people or whatever they were about this awhile back. They are aware of it and are apparently rewriting font handling on linux for the next version.

In the meantime you can fix it by commenting out

export FONTCONFIG_PATH=/etc/fonts

in /usr/lib/firestorm/firestorm. It will take a bit longer to start though.

@sysconfig

@alisamenna

this is also happening in my client. more specifically, i'm missing 亗, ツ (and likely many others) , which works systemwide as part of cjk fonts, but seems to be missing in firestorm.

i have noto-cjk installed, so i think firestorm uses some other sort of unicode mechanic to render these characters. it's worth noting that if you open up the internal browser in firestorm that these characters display just fine, but inworld, no luck. also, this only seems to be happening in the linux client of firestorm (this one), not in the windows

any explanation?

sysconfig commented on 2023-01-29 10:01 (UTC)

@alisamenna - that's what I thought initially too, but the missing characters display fine across the system and other apps. Just in Firestorm they're not displayed. That's why I thought it might be something that needed tweaking here.

alisamenna commented on 2023-01-29 00:18 (UTC)

I don't know how to reply to comments directly but sysconfig inquired about special characters so here's my two cents. It is due to the lack of fonts installed and accessible by the operating system.

sysconfig commented on 2023-01-28 11:49 (UTC)

I'm noticing that some characters which work fine in other applications are missing in this firestorm build. For example: ツ They would be displayed as empty boxes instead. Does anyone know how this could be fixed?

I believe this package need a little dependency cleanup.

I had been digging into the source code and noticed that gtk2 isn't used directly anymore. Instead they have they prebuilt version of fltk which loads it dynamicly if it's available, otherwise it uses it's on dialogs. So gtk2 could be made optional now I think.

dbus-glib also isn't used anymore. Instead they use the DBus functionality from a prebuilt glib. So it could be removed completely.

But I also noticed that libnotify is currently loaded dynamicly for desktop notifications. Maybe this could be added optional?

@neo the b2sum is correct for the version of Firestorm this PKGBUILD creates a package for. If you are getting a checksum failure, then you do not have the same file.

Kept getting 503 when it curls, so I downloaded the source file and uploaded the file to my g-drive. Of course, I got the b2sum error for it.

Validating source files with b2sums...

    view?usp=sharing ... FAILED

    firestorm.desktop ... Passed

    firestorm.launcher ... Passed

Is there any way to omit the first b2sum?

@aburke161 you need to update your system. glibc no longer has the older libcrypt library, hence the compatibility package as a dependency.

aburke161 commented on 2022-02-18 18:39 (UTC)

libxcrypt-compat conflicts with /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 owned by glibc, which tons of packages depend on so I'm not messing with it. Is there a resolution for this?
