DetailsDescription:
On a fresh Arch install, there are no fonts installed. When installing sway, and starting it, everything is illegible (letters are just rectangles). I could fix it by installing ttf-croscore, but it seems that any font package would work. Maybe sway should have a dependency to make sure that a font is installed? Otherwise, its usability is limited. Additional info: * sway 1.0-4 Steps to reproduce: Install sway on new Arch system |

Thanks for reporting. I'll add a dependency on `ttf-font`. The updated package will appear in [community] shortly.
