[Moosems]

Yes, tkextrafont has been unmaintained for quite some time.

[tomlin7]

@Moosems according to the tkextrafont docs, for the linux support of library they have specified some prerequisites

This example is given for Ubuntu 20.04, change the names of packages and commands as required for your distribution of choice.

sudo apt install python3-dev tcl-dev tk-dev \
    fontconfig libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev \
    cmake cmake-data extra-cmake-modules build-essential
python -m pip install scikit-build
python setup.py install

They have not mentioned about macos support though. But what all would be the prerequisites for macos to compile the library?

[Moosems]

No idea. Depends on how the library works.
