Compile failed on macOS if no fontconfig installed

[7sDream]

I notice that build.rs will try to find installed fontconfig library and dynamic link to it if found.

When not found, it will use make to build static library itself.

But the makefile.cargo do nothing in macOS, this leads to build failed.

Is this expected behavior?

Servo only uses fontconfig on linux, so we never bothered to make the build work for macOS.

[7sDream]

Oh, it's sound reasonable.

So what do Servo use to find/match fonts in macOS? Apple's Core-Text API?

[jdm]

Exactly. Specifically, using a hugher-level crate like font-kit which has platform-specific backends and uses core-text for macOS.
