[Meta bug] glui_minimal_assets.zip (used by the F-Droid release) is missing required assets

[davidhedlund]

• glui_minimal_assets.zip (used by the F-Droid release) does not ship with the current autoconfig assets #18760
• glui_minimal_assets.zip (used by the F-Droid release) missing ozone menu assets, causing pixelated fonts and missing icons #18756
• Chinese language error #11501
  • glui_minimal_assets.zip (used by the F-Droid release) does not support Chinese fonts. This issue is discussed in this comment and further confirmed in this subsequent report, which notes that Chinese text display does not work in the F-Droid build -- used for reference because changing the system fonts to Chinese for testing is inconvenient for non-Chinese users.

Temporary workaround (requires internet)

Main Menu → Online Updater → Update for controllers, assets, etc.

Proposed workarounds

• Remove glui_minimal_assets.zip and use the full asset package instead.
• Update glui_minimal_assets.zip, though this is less reliable and likely to cause new issues in the future. For instance, there was a period when the F-Droid build was expected to become stable once the issues in #16126 were resolved (#15931, #16087), but new problems later emerged with glui_minimal_assets.zip, ultimately leading to this “meta bug” list.
