Perhaps this would be better off included in a README file within the repo, or under the "Wiki" tab?

Is there a specific, good place to ask for help with specifics?
I want to try and port Tarpir, a RPG maker player for newer versions to the Vita, to hopefully run Pokemon Reborn... but it relies on fontconfig.

• Tapir: https://github.com/qnighy/tapir
• The problematic file in question: https://github.com/qnighy/tapir/blob/master/src/font_lookup.c
• Pokemon Reborn: https://www.rebornevo.com/pr/index.html/

Without going into too much detail; from what I get off the fontconfig website, all it does is provide a unified way to look up fonts, right? So a small implementation of fontconfig that just knows where the Vita has it's fonts, would do the trick, right?

It also uses GL - which I assume will do just fine by linking against TinyGL ("/usr/local/vitasdk/arm-vita-eabi/lib/libTinyGL.a") and SDL2 (plus deps) respectively. But fontconfig has me halt, for now.

@IngwiePhoenix You can ask on the Vita Nuova Discord server. I (or someone else) will give you a hand.
