can't build: "Metric (TFM) file or in stalled font not found."

There is a workflows build on the actions tab here on GitHub. It's built with every merge or commit to the master branch

@bicyclesonthemoon can you provide some system details? The dependencies listed work for me and are all that are needed for the automated github builds as well. I'd like to fix this and make sure the dependencies are correct for as many systems as possible, but I may need your help in figuring that out.

I tried this in Cygwin on Windows 10. 64 bit.
You need anything more specific about the Windows or the Cygwin?

(At home I try the same on Debian, and there it worked ok)

@bicyclesonthemoon do you know how to install the missing font and get cygwin to build? I'd love to update the build instructions so that cygwin builds work, but I don't have a windows system to play around with. If you find the right fix, you can either submit a pull request, or just post it here and I'll update it.
