Just installed Manjaro and wanted to install Infinality font

>>59801227

The infinality fonts have not been updated in a long time and the package author has been MIA for about a year.

Now delete your thread, and go ask it in GNU/linux general and I'll help you.

Windows 10 doesn't have this problem.

how can i install this one, it says:

sudo pacman -S freetype2-infinality
>error: target not found: freetype2-infinality

>>59801433
It's an AUR package, dingus.

>>59801319
oh shit didn't realise that, apoligies

>>59801433
because its not in the core repository, that wont work.

make a folder ~/Builds
cd into it
$sudo pacman -S git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/freetype2-infinality.git
cd into freet...
$makepkg -si

>>59801319

Thats not the original creator it's just a patch someone has made.

>>59801468
thank you only this pops up:
>bash: -si: command not found

>>59801227
Give up on infinatility. As people already said repo is dead pretty much, and there have been pretty serious breakage caused by it few months ago. If you are interested google it, but the point is, this repo is dead.

>>59801563
This pretty much, I got it to work but it was rather difficult and you seem to have just installed manjaro so you may struggle. Consider installing arch, everything will be more difficult at first but yo uwill learn how things actually work. Also don't make threads for tech support use the linux genral

>>59801523
I don't know if Manjaro has makepkg installed by default

$sudo pacman -S pacman

cd into ~/Builds/free...
$makepkg -si

>>59801523
Maybe try using that command without a dollar sign.

>>59801615

Oh good god tell me you didn't put in the dollar sign hahaha

>>59801630
I didn't. I know that you access bash variables with a dollar sign, and makepkg will most likely be undefined, so the only part of makepkg -si left is -si, hence the error "command not found: -si"

>>59801675

try doing
$makepkg
$sudo pacman -U freetyp.......pkg.xxx

>>59801698
I'm not that guy who wanted help on how to install infinality from aur.

>>59801675
do you have the base-developer repos enabled in pacman.conf? None of this is gonna work if you don't.

>tfw every single distro except stock ubuntu has dogshit ass rendering and you are forced to copy paste some bullshit into terminal or hunt down random repos/patches

give me one reason why i shouldn't give up on linux and install windows 10 ltsb

>>59801812
Get something with a newer kernel? When Infinality became deprecated in Arch, I didn't even notice a difference.
