latest Appimage on linux fails with "undefined symbol: hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language"

[thearthur]

Running the latest Appimage on Archlinux like this:

./Vircadia-x86_64_v2021.1.3-Eos.AppImage

gives this output

./Vircadia-x86_64_v2021.1.3-Eos.AppImage: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6: undefined symbol: hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language

Is libfreetype included in the app image or does it depend on the one installed on the system?

You can fix this by downgrading your system libfreetype. Julian said he fixed this for the last release but somehow missed it in the AppImage. My understanding is that it will be included in the AppImage next release. Julian said he will generate a release candidate AppImage sometime today or tomorrow.

I was pretty busy so I didn't make sure it made it onto the website, etc.

The release candidate is incompatible with current stable servers, but I just generated it https://appimage.moto9000.moe/release-candidate/Vircadia-x86_64_v2022.1.0-rc1.AppImage

New release is out that should fix the problem.
