AppImage: Add required fonts #148

Closed noseshimself closed 1 year ago

noseshimself commented 2 years ago

Compiling and installing Kraft from sources shows that running it from the AppImage is using different fonts.

It might be necessary to include the required fonts in the AppImage. It's also adviable to add a chapter to the user manual describing which resources are necessary for running Kraft that are not included in the package Kraft .

Kraft (or all desktop apps) "inherit" the font from the window manager. In Kraft, we do not set a specific font to run with at all. As a result, adding a font wont fix this for all cases.

@fmoc do you have an idea why the font is different when running from AppImage?

fmoc commented 2 years ago

Could be a theming issue, some fontconfig issue, anything, really. Getting theming in AppImages right is hard. Adding the font explicitly to the AppImage will do the trick.

dragotin commented 2 years ago

Which font? I never set a specific font in Kraft. It just uses the Window Manager default font. Why does the AppImage use a different one?

noseshimself commented 2 years ago

It probably is a theming issue (compare tabs, font colour....) but both screnshots were taken from Kraft running inthe same container of the same VM so the differences have to be coming from settings within the container.

Closing because I think this is not applicable.
