I'm running Arch Linux Arm on a raspberry pi. I grabbed the source of siji from github, installed it to $HOME/.fonts/, and also the xorg-xfd package.

When I tried to run ./view.sh, I got the following error message:

Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Error: Aborting: no font found

Strangly enough, I did exactly the same thing on another amd64 Arch Linux laptop, this time everything works just perfectly fine. So there might be some packaging issue of the Arch Linux ARM repo? I have no ideas. I searched a bit about the issue online, but could not find any helpful information to my particular case.

Any ideas and suggestions about what missing setup or config are needed?

@oimaasi installing xorg-fonts-misc fixed this issue for me.
