Hi folks, [Please Reply All as Cygwin mail blocked by ISP]
Scallywag job failing complaining about TeX fonts.
Any ideas about what extra TeX font dependencies dblatex requires
under gtk-doc building docs for gsasl 2.2 under playground:
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?id=4618
https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/actions/runs/3148865611/jobs/5119913953
Googling the first error message leads me to suggest
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended
Thanks Jon,
I planned to add that and ...extra, but shouldn't presumably required
fonts be TeX/LaTex/dblatex package dependencies, when not mentioned
anywhere in downstream packages, including in build scripts on other
systems?
How are maintainers and users expected to make the connection, if nobody
mentions you need special "unrelated" font packages, in any of the
downstream packages?
For example, for DbLaTeX, only the Windows install page mentions MikTeX
fonts, and there appears to be no other link between the abstract font
specs, the TeX fonts used, and packages required, although there appear
to be mentions of DejaVu "system" fonts, so do non-TeX font packages
also need installed e.g. dejavu-fonts or urw-base35-fonts{,-legacy}?
Those who are not TeXies need a few more hints.
