The upstream testing functionality is not a good match for Arch package builds because it is not testing the packaging, it's testing the upstream functions and they are making assumptions a mile a minute about the environment. I still recommend building this with --nocheck
.
Also, the python-fonttools
dependency version needs bumping. This project expects the very latest released version and the Arch package for that has been lagging behind. I know the maintainer has been traveling lately, but the holdups have been pretty regular and are hurting downstream packages like this one. You can use python-fonttools-git
to get a newer version to resolve this. That's working for me in a bunch of production projects.

PSA: Like most of the PKGBUILDs that I (co-)maintain, I host prebuilt packages for this in my user repository and all its dependencies for those who wish to install it using
pacman
without messing around with building from the AUR. Issues or contributions are welcome either in comments below or via this GitHub repository.
