Yes, I understand I could go through some process to get the fonts, etc, to make it run.
But again, that’s jumping through too many hoops to get it to work, and those steps have nothing specifically to do with Crystal.
Not every Rosetta Code task is doable (currently) with Crystal (or other languages), and that’s OK.
But Rosetta Code is meant to be a side-by-side comparison of how to do the same tasks in the different languages, to illustrate their capabilities.
So submitting code examples that run as is for users is the ultimate goal.
If you use that as a design criteria, it would very educational to see if the Crystal ecosystem has the available resources in its standard development environment to do this task.
If not, then maybe someone will create at least one standard way to perform these type of tasks.
