Title: r11164 - font fallback to .bdf does not work
Post by: tastytea on May 09, 2024, 01:08:31 PM
i compiled simutrans (using make) on gentoo linux with:

Code Select
USE_FREETYPE=
USE_FONTCONFIG=

which should work, if i interpret the email from roboron correctly? the strace output looks like a font (cyr.bdf) is loaded but later it says that no fonts are found. the error does not appear with freetype enabled.

Code Select
openat(AT_FDCWD, "font/cyr.bdf", O_RDONLY) = 4
[...]
write(2, "dr_fatal_notify: ERROR: No fonts"..., 40dr_fatal_notify: ERROR: No fonts found!

Freetype is now required to run a non-commandline server build.

Freetype is now required (it will be the one that loads the BDF fonts if no other is found), but the 124 makefile was not updated to reflect this and you can technically compile without it, only for Simutrans to fail to load fonts.
