Using TTF and how to configure the fontconfig in Linux
-
@SGaist I thought that I don't have the fontconfig library installed, but I just checked with the command:
/sbin/ldconfig -pAnd it turns out that I do have the library installed. This is what I find:
libfontconfig.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1 libfontconfig.so.1 (libc6) => usr/lib/i1386-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1I still couldn't install the fontconfig-dev packages.
The current error is:
fontconfig/fontconfig.h: No such file or directory #include <fontconfig/fontconfig.h>What would you suggest to do next?

You won't have the headers if you don't have the dev package installed. Like I suggested before, you can grab the package for the repositories of the distribution running on your virtual machine and install it.

@SGaist Yeah, I'm trying to get it installed, I get alot of errors though.
When I run the downloaded .deb (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libfontconfig1-dev).
I can't install it via the Software Center.
And when I run the dpkg command, it won't install. (Errors encountered) -
Which version of Ubuntu are you running on that virtual machine ?
-
@SGaist I installed fontconfig-config, because it looks like it's a dependency from libfontconfig1 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libfontconfig1)
I'm not sure if it's because of that, but I managed to get a bit further with the make process.
The only errors are variables that are not used.I get a fontconfig file. not sure how I run or use it though.
