Installing from a fresh new system: (ubuntu 22.04LTS)

These are the commands needed (for me) to run the font manager binaries from a freshly installed ubuntu 22.04LTS with minimum packages. All needed packages and tools should be installed by the commands below.

install main tools

sudo apt install git curl

install rust

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

you might need to restart your shell to get the correct paths. Check if cargo seems to work.

install compilation tools

sudo apt install gcc g++ pkg-config

install the project's dependencies

sudo apt install libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk-4-dev

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

install the project

git clone https://github.com/gosub-io/poc-font-manager.git
cd poc-font-manager

build the project binaries:

cargo build --workspace

cargo run --bin display-fonts

If you have a GUI running, you can test the gtk applicaiton:

cargo run --bin gtk-test
