Trying to package a font; why is this happening?

I'm trying to write a package for the Zen Maru Gothic font, which is available on Google's font repository on github. (https://github.com/google/fonts) It's a huge repo with thousands of fonts, so I'm trying to use sparseCheckout to grab only the part I need:

src = pkgs.fetchgit {
   url = "https://github.com/google/fonts.git";
   rev = "v0.4.9";
   sha256 = #snip long hash;
   sparseCheckout = [ "ofl/zenmarugothic" ];
};

I was originally using fetchFromGitHub pointed at the same repo. In both cases, what's actually being fetched into the store seems to be the root directory of the Google Fonts Axis Registry repository (https://github.com/googlefonts/axisregistry) which has a different url, name, and owner.

I feel like I'm going crazy.

Image issues in 275

  • With "force full-size thumbnails" disabled (the default) most thumbnails fail to load

  • With "convert to webp" enabled (the default) most images fall to load in app, but work in an external browser

As an aside, is there an "open external" anywhere when viewing an image? It used to be in the three dot menu, but I don't see it now.

What is the intended way of closing the settings menu?

It used to be that pressing the back button while in the settings menu would take you back to where you were before. For the last several versions, it would instead unceremoniously exit the app. I see from the notes for 271 that an exit prompt has been added, seemingly cementing what I would have considered the root bug. (i.e. that it exits at all rather than just going back)

So how are we supposed to leave the settings menu if not the back button?

Mom wanted a lemon cake for her birthday

Cake is Bravetart's vanilla butter cake, scaled down for two pans rather than three and with the zest of two lemons added to the batter.

Filling is homemade lemon curd: zest and juice of two lemons, six egg yolks, and 200g sugar heated until thickened, then 1 stick cold butter stirred in off heat.

Frosting is Bravetart's Swiss meringue buttercream with 1tsp lemon extract and juice of 1 lemon added.

Garnished with candied lemon peel, scaled down to 1 lemon.
