Experiencing the same problem mentioned by @birthstalker : UI fonts is monospaced.

The foxit reader UI font is somehow falling back to monospace font. How can I fix this issue? Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/cf8id

After the update using the packaged Qt again, opening URLs embedded in the PDF is broken.

Here a shortened log from the open operation:

EDIT: Apparently, this is because libQt5X11Extras.so.5 is not packaged so it will load the one provided by arch - which crashes because of the internal private APIs

Printing now works with the latest build. Thanks

@RemoteAdmin the libqgtk2.so plugin is not required to run foxitreader. It's only used to apply GTK+ appearance if gtk2 is available. If you lack the gtk2 package then you'll get the QT file chooser even if you use a GTK+ base desktop environment. If you have gtk2 installed then you'll have the GTK+ file chooser.

By the way I've found more missing dependencies, I'll add gtk2 to optdepends

RemoteAdmin commented on 2018-02-04 16:08 (UTC)

@Muflone Sorry for bothering again but is there a reason for not including gtk2? It is required by libqgtk2.so or am I missing something?

/usr/lib/foxitreader/platformthemes/libqgtk2.so needs libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
/usr/lib/foxitreader/platformthemes/libqgtk2.so needs libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

fixed, thank you

@gourdcaptain is right. There are a few dependencies missing.

I have run readelf -d against the elf files in this package and it turns out that the following dependencies are missing:

'qt5-xmlpatterns' 'libxslt' 'gstreamer0.10-base' 'fcitx-qt5' 'gtk2'

You can verify this list by using the following:

/usr/lib/foxitreader/FoxitReader needs libGL.so.1

Running foxitreader with the 2.4.1.0609-8 package causes the error "/usr/lib/foxitreader/FoxitReader: error while loading shared libraries: libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", so it's missing a library dependency.

Muflone commented on 2018-02-03 22:56 (UTC)

I've replaced the qt-installer script with a beautiful hack from @phiresky Removed the qt5 dependency as it uses the shipped version (again)
