Can u fix this?

daed commented 6 years ago

That's fascinating. I'm not sure this is a laverna issue, but I'll pull down the Mint iso and set up a VM to have a look at it.

Exactly the same thing is happening in ubuntu 18.04 for me.

talklittle commented 6 years ago

Probably due to a bug in libfreetype6 version 2.8.1

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetype/+bug/1769132

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetype/+bug/1751293 indicates it also affected other applications like Atom

Solution would be to wait for libfreetype6 2.9.1, or rebuild against Electron 1.7.10, but I don't think Laverna works with newer Electron versions.

Thank you for taking the time to answer this @talklittle !

What I ended up doing instead was building from the source and just using the index.html without rebuilding with electron because I wanted to plug it into https://meetfranz.com/ using the "file://" uri

Same problem (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS). Does there is still no valable solution?

Hi @colbach @sergiughf @talklittle @dawidryba

Unfortunately, this issue will never be fixed here.

Please report to https://github.com/Laverna/laverna/issues/971#issuecomment-411423965 for the current state of this project and https://github.com/encryptic-team/encryptic for the future of this project.

Have a nice day/night.

Cheers, Nissar
