dependency/ install information missing? #26

Closed jarrettone closed 1 year ago

jarrettone commented 2 years ago

I get line 175: unxz: command not found when running fnt search some_font. It still finds what I'm looking for, but it prints this error. Because it found it, I'm assuming, its either not a critical dependency or I'm missing some results or something. I was able to find xz in Homebrew and this clears up the error.

I feel it would be nice to have a mention of the dependency in the REAME.md. Would you like to have such a mention? If so, would you prefer to add it yourself or would you want a Pull request for it?

I will also look to add xz to the Homebrew formula here to get Homebrew to take care of this dependency when installing fnt with brew install fnt on the systems it supports.

yes the homebrew formula needs the depends on xz definitely. thank you for adding a atch for it

since this appears to be an issue for two or more people i will consider adding the info in a more compact way than suggested at https://github.com/alexmyczko/fnt/issues/24

xz is needed to access the ~500 fonts from debian sid.
