How to workaround to install termux:api with same origin issue?
I just got a new phone and installed termux and the letters r, i and l look off, why is that? This is very wierd as it worked fine on my previous phone and i've never seen it before. Otherwise the app works fine but it bugs me very much that l is rather a rectangle and not a lineish shape...
i just downloaded the latest release from github if it matters and used the universal installer

This is a known font issue.
Just replace
~/.termux/font.ttf with a different (monospace) font.
We have several options available through Termux:Styling.
https://github.com/termux/termux-styling
Or you can grab a font online.
It will need to be placed at ~/.termux/font.ttf but despite the file extension OTF fonts are supported as well.GitHub

Also i have another issue, i cannot install termux:api because it says
App not installed as package conflicts with an existing package is there a fix for it? i've seen solutions on reddit which did not work for me
also i tried installing styling but it also has the same issue as api ^^^
i kinda relied on termux api on my previous phone and even though i can disable the part that did rely on it, i'd like to keep it since it's super usefulYou also seem to be running very outdated packages.
If you installed through the playstore please update to either the F-Droid or GitHub release.
Then update all of your packages.
Termux does not support partial upgrades.
You may need to use
termux-change-repo to select a different mirror if the outdated one is no longer available.i installed through github (latest release) just now, i did change repos with termux change repo to all repos and i did
pkg upShould have a bunch of package updates (we've been busy...)
As for plugins.
Termux:API will need to be installed from its GitHub release as well if you installed the main app from GitHub.
There is also a "companion package" on the repos.
Termux:API implements the API access.
The
termux-api package contains the commands for using those APIs through the command line.
The "same origin" caveat applies to most official Termux add-ons for now, though we are working to resolve that.i did
pkg update && pkg upgrade, however i still cannot install the termux api due to the same origin issue
The "same origin" caveat applies to most official Termux add-ons for now, though we are working to resolve that.Is there any workaround in place? Or anything i can do to install both things at once? Or any ETA on when is that fix going to be published? I tried adb but when i try to install it, it understandably cannot find the package because i don't know how it would see the apk path from the commands i found on redditsorry i'm not very much experienced with android, or even linux... i did install
termux-api package but i guess it needs the termux:api app because it just never returns to bash nor gives any information after i use it
nvm then uh, either way thank you for help!
Uh i am dumb i was testing things on a different phone with termux:api installed............
so, is there anything so i can get termux command line api to work?
