Could not find Liga font / EnvironmentError: Open failed

Every time - both with the manual and auto approach. I've copied the Liga font files as the code expects them to be named into every directory but still no dice. Nothing ever appears in output:

did you git clone --recurse-submodules like the README says? If not try git submodule update --init and try again.

I had checked this option, which I think does the same thing:

Ah! Working, but I had to do the following:

git submodule sync git reset --hard git submodule foreach git reset --hard

Submodules man. They'll mess you up.
