I may be doing this wrong but...the font provided just install as OpenSans and does not provide any functionality at least in mousepad or LibreOffice Writer. I am talking about the 90mb one

Yeah, sorry, that could have been clearer, I added a few more instructions. Basically, chances are that even if you've got Harfbuzz running, you're still running a version with no Wasm runtime. If so, chances are you can get away with building it with Wasm support, then add the built library to LD_PRELOAD before running the editor.

That was useful. I have indeed compiled and installed wasm-micro and now meson build it successfully. Tho "meson compile -C build" returns an error about not finding "hb-wasm-api-list.hh". Do you have any experience of that?

EDIT: Nevermind. Using the exact commits you linked give another error (undefined reference to wasm_externref_ref2obj). I give up

Another font connoisseur put together a script here that might be helpful: https://github.com/hsfzxjy/Harfbuzz-WASM-Fantasy/blob/master...

Managed to build it using "-DWAMR_BUILD_REF_TYPES=1" And it works! Now is time to dive deep :)
