Cannot run examples - missing fonts?

[DaLynX]

It seems the examples rely on some ttf fonts that are not in the repository.

interesting, the problem you're hitting is in an example that is used in testing only, so we should figure out a way to make this work.

There's an easy temporary solution, though, which is that you need to checkout the submodules. I think git submodule update --init should do it?

Yes, that solved it, thanks!
