Cannot launch loader

[e-lisa]

Launching the loader brings up a blank window, seems to be an issue with fontconfig versions. See attached for log.

Let me know if you need any additional debugging information.

Thanks for the project, keep up the great work!

Wanted to add:

Using the "Build" tag to build. Had to install the following dependencies to build:

cargo libexpat-dev libfreetype-dev libssl-dev

Okay, something different fixed the problem, and I think it's worth putting that whole fontconfig stuff right into the README.md.

• So, (Linux) users should definitely check whether or not fontconfig is out of date. It wasn't in my case.
• At least Ubuntu users should also ensure that the package libfontconfig1-dev is installed. I have no damn idea what iced otherwise links to, but once this package is installed via apt install libfontconfig1-dev, the iced applications boot up instantly.

So libfontconfig1-dev seems to be needed for debian-based distro.

@clague I just wanted to hijack this issue to say: Thank you so so much for this project. It works like a charm! Was really frustrating not being able to play with my friends. Never got ds3os loader to work with proton/wine. Then I cloned this project, built it, and it instantly worked! So again: Thank you! ❤️
