Hello,

I ran into this problem with the current Debian testing build, so I
thought I would try the static build. Both are compiled with
--enable-libfreetype but both barf on a drawtext filter. I am attaching
the log file from the static build.

According to:

https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#drawtext-1

the libfreetype library should be sufficient.

Recent versions of the drawtext filter now also depend on libharfbuzz. I also did run into this when cross-compiling a static build of FFmpeg. Unfortunately the harfbuzz library has some other non-trivial dependencies in turn, like GLib and Cairo, and uses Meson for building (see https://harfbuzz.github.io/building.html).

In my opinion it would have been nice if the libharfbuzz dependency of the drawtext filter could be made optional, for those that do not mind non-perfect positioned characters - or just use monospaced fonts anyway.

Regards,
Tobias
