Package: python3-searx
Version: 0.13.1+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal
The simple theme contains references to the ionicons font in
searx.min*.css. Since the font was removed from the source package,
using the simple theme leads to 404 errors and to some buttons not being
displayed properly. The ionicons font was removed because Debian
currently doesn't include a compiler (like grunt-webfont) from svg to
the font files.
There are multiple ways to solve this problem:
- replace the ionicons font with a similar font that already exists in
Debian. This seems unlikely to work because searx compiles a custom
set of svg files from ionicons plus magnet.svg into a new font.
- remove the simple theme
- hack the css to use the svg graphics directly instead of using the
font
For me, the missing fonts are still shown with some symbol, so I don't
think the theme is yet unusable. Thus, I'm hesitant to remove the theme.
I'll investigate the other two options.
