I have recently switched my daily OS from Fedora to Solus. I was very happy with fontfinder there so I decided to install it on Solus too, which does not have my fav fonts.

I am getting following error when I run cargo install

Hi! I love typecatcher but it's been a bit buggy the last couple of years, I'm so glad you started working on a new implementation! Would you consider distributing the app as flatpak and perhaps also submitting it to flathub?

Currently, When I click "Install Button" I do get a message Installing '"/home/Abhinav/.local/share/fonts/Coming Soon_regular.ttf"' But I do not get message for when installing is completed. It would be nice if after font is downloaded and installed, I could get a message like ready to use or Completed Something like that.

Also, I had to manually run fc-cache -f for downloaded fonts to listed in libraoffice writer. Is it by design?

I've tried to install the tool but got an error:

  --- stderr

  Package 'libsoup-2.4', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Maybe you should add that this is a requirement. I think that I have this package installed but somehow the application is not able to find it.

I'm using Fedora GNU/Linux.

Unlike TypeCatcher, this application is English-only, which is a pity since this version works better and I’d rather share this one with my non-English-speaking friends.

Michael, you are not an engineer, never were, and never will be close to one.

@mmstick Stop making lies about real Engineering. Engineering has nothing to do with sitting behind a keyboard and writing code. There is no such thing as "desktop" "engineer". Thats the stupidest and most pathetic lie ever. Engineering is a real subject.

Engineering means designing and building real mechanical systems, like vehicular engines and turbojets. Software devs have absolutely nothing to do with engineering, and they are being stupid wannabe liars. They will never be engineers, in fact, they don't even know what it takes to be an engineer. None of you are engineers, and you'll never even be close.

So stop being disrespectful to real engineers (mechanical engineering is real engineering, and nothing else).

When I install the latest version of FontFinder, I get this error.

cargo install --all-features fontfinder

Updating registry https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index Installing fontfinder v1.4.1 **error**: specified package has no binaries

Is there any temporary fix for this ?

Hey,

i'm trying to get a bit into Rust & GTK4 development (disclaimer: i read your tutorial series). I thought it would be a good starting to point to test something existing like the fontfinder. However i guess there are some blockers for this? Namely the gtkwebview library comes to mind.

We're not alone though https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/65843 So (I am not sure but), it seems the solution is to bump version of gtk-rs.
