If you're having an issue upgraded with errors related to fonts like merriweather, here's my steps to resolve the issue (assuming you have Yaourt):

#Clear out what you had before

yaourt -R fonts-meta-extended-lt
sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)
sudo pacman -R ttf-google-fonts-git
sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)

#Install dependencies

yaourt -S ttf-merriweather-sans ttf-opensans ttf-oswald ttf-quintessential ttf-signika
yaourt -S fonts-meta-extended-lt

#Heads up, if ttf-impallari-cantora isn't fixed yet, change the PKGBUILD source to the URL in the comments on the package

yaourt -S ttf-impallari-cantora
yaourt -S ttf-google-fonts-git

I've reverted the Rubik revert in prepare() as it doesn't seem apparent to me that this is an issue anymore. If anyone has trouble with it please let me know. Thanks!

Same on my side, unpossible to build:

It's not possible to build ttf-google-fonts-git as of now.

Can you please add fontconfig to the makedepends array? It resolves the following error caused by fc-query being used in the PKGBUILD. Thanks!

@polygamma All of the fonts with issues are all maintained by the same person who was active posting updates just a few days ago. There is hope they will be addressed soon. If not we'll file orphan requests so somebody else can fix them (I'd be happy to) in a bit, we we have to give them a bit of a shot first.

@caleb I have already done so, before reporting it under this package. I'd still argue to do something about it, since those mentioned dependencies are maintained by other people, who knows how long it is going to take, until that stuff is fixed, if it ever happens.

@polygamma Please report that to the respective packages that actually have the bogus (legacy, now completely deprecated) dependency. This package can't fix that problem except by dropping the font packages. They should be fixed in the other packages.

The package xorg-font-utils has been removed from the Arch repositories, this package cannot be built and installed anymore, since it depends on ttf-oswald, ttf-merriweather, ttf-quintessential, ttf-merriweather-sans and ttf-signika all of which depend on xorg-font-utils.

@andrewSC nobody has to pull the source every time. Yay caches the git from one build to the next one. :)

TheGoliath: Thanks for the contribution--looking at the upstream repo it doesn't seem the font itself has changed however I'll be watching issue #1137 and have enabled notifications.

Regarding the warning: inexact rename detection was skipped due to too many files. message. I've disable merge rename detection until we get a change/answer from upstream.

Finally, since I know some of you don't like having to pull source every time to build this, I'm going to setup a repo to push built packages to and make it available to everyone. No ETA, however, it's on my shorter todo list as I think it'd benefit quite a number of people.

Thanks!
