PitchBlackRecoveryProject: Build error: font missing

Question

I tried to build PBRP for a Samsung Galaxy A24.

When compiling PBRP, i get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Can not find the font file NotoSansEthiopic-Regular for language am

Answer 1

I have faced same error, I fixed it by manually downloading the missing font then put it in the right directory, in your case, in external/noto-fonts/others. I don't know if there's better way to solve it.

Edited -- 1 :

cd external/noto-fonts/other
wget https://github.com/cd-Crypton/custom-recovery-extras/raw/main/missing-font.zip
unzip -o missing-font.zip
cd ../../..

This was the method I used. This consists of some missing fonts needed by PBRP.
