ArcticFox has been updated to version 43.0 in the Fienix software repo. Running better than ever

[xeno74]

Arctic Fox 43.1 is available.

New:

Minor but recommended release.

• Download issue fixed (#165)
• several video decoder fixes
• icon fixes
• security fixes
  
  For a full log of fixes and mozilla imported patches: (v43.0...v43.1)

I compiled a non-altivec 32-bit version of Arctic Fox 43.1 for Ubuntu 10.04 and higher (12.04, 14.04, 16.04 etc). It also works on Void PPC, MintPPC (Debian Sid), Debian PPC 32-bit, and Fienix.

g_unicode_script_from_iso15924 doesn't exist in the file Arctic-Fox-43.1/gfx/thebes/gfxFontconfigFonts.cpp. That means, it is a new variable in the file gfxFontconfigFonts.cpp.

I removed the code block from the 44.0 sources and it compiles further.
