Description: ghemical crashes on startup due to a missing font notably 'courier 12' which is an 'industry standard' monospace fixed pitch font.


Additional info:

As per Arch Linux BBS user 'karol' here is a modified PKGBUILD that changes the font to 'monospace' which corrects the problem.

build() {
cd -- "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver/"
./configure --prefix=/usr
sed -i 's/courier 12/monospace/g' ./src/*.cpp
make
}

package() {
install -D -m644 "$srcdir"/ghemical.desktop "$pkgdir"/usr/share/applications/ghemical.desktop
cd -- "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver/"
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
}

The only modification required is as follows:
sed -i 's/courier 12/monospace/g' ./src/*.cpp

Steps to reproduce: install ghemical using pacman
