| hexa | check the file, it wants web open font format | 11:37:27 |
| hexa | * check the file, it wants WOFF2 instead | 11:37:37 |
 emily | ah, true | 11:37:52 |
| emily | we could build woff2s :') | 11:37:58 |
| emily | they're just compressed ttfs after all! | 11:38:06 |
| hexa | that sounds like lots of fun | 11:39:08 |
| hexa | given that our current roboto build is this | 11:39:28 |

| emily | don't show me that, I'll replace it with something really slow and everyone will get mad | 11:40:01 |
 Cobalt | Maybe it's worth to request upstream to just use font's from npm? Most stuff from Google font's and in particular Roboto is available in an npm package. | 11:40:51 |

don't show me that, I'll replace it with something really slow and everyone will get mad that is precisely the issue with fonts, reminds me of #staging:nixos.org a while ago 😄 | 11:43:24 |

| hexa | not sure if they're even open to us packaging that | 11:44:05 |
| hexa | the home-assistant folks certaintly weren't | 11:44:14 |

that is precisely the issue with fonts, reminds me of #staging:nixos.org a while ago 😄 (I read recently that that Adobe stuff and all that Python is getting replaced with an end-to-end Rust toolchain with corporate backing, in https://behdad.org/text2024/. perhaps soon we'll have from-source font builds that aren't slow or broken) | 11:44:41 |
| hexa | hah, I skimmed that document as well | 11:45:13 |
| hexa | very interesting | 11:45:15 |

| @wst:imagisphe.re | Hi, I'm "trying" to package an electron app that uses yarn, but I don't know anything about modern js stack, is this the right place to ask questions or should I rather go to nixpkgs room? | 13:48:57 |
| @wst:imagisphe.re | Trying is quoted because I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing :/ | 13:49:48 |
| Cobalt | Sure, ask questions and maybe we can help you.
Note: If you are new to packaging for nodejs w/ nix, a good point to start is looking at existing packaged software. | 14:04:45 |

| @wst:imagisphe.re | Yeah, I do try to read docks and see some examples, but it's confusing | 18:46:07 |
