^ i think this bot is a really bad idea. this will end up closing a lot of feature-request issues or old-but-unfixed bug reports. |

Currently, LCUI hard-codes the font paths, like here:
LCUI/src/font/fontlibrary.c
Line 845 in 402bc03
These are not guaranteed to be in the same location across different linux systems.
LCUI/src/font/fontlibrary.c
Line 848 in 402bc03
/usr/share/fonts/noto-cjk/NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttcon my system.I suggest using Fontconfig, which would allow to match fonts with their names instead of using the absolute paths.
I am preparing a pull request that updates fontlibrary.c to use Fontconfig for you to review.
