Description
Verification
- I searched for similar issues (including closed issues) and found none was relevant.
Introduce the issue
The creation of fonts requires the patch executable to be available in addition to the lv_font_conv executable.
It is available per default on most Linux distributions but not all.
Preferred solution
We should check if it is available and at least issue a warning in CMake if it wasn't found in path

Research direction
Start in the CMake configuration for font creation and inspect how the lv_font_conv executable is currently checked. Verify how CMake can detect the patch executable, then confirm the configuration emits a warning when patch is unavailable while preserving the existing behavior when it is present.
