24.11.0

operating system and/or environment

LSB Version:    n/a
Distributor ID: EndeavourOS
Description:    EndeavourOS Linux

What happened?

When I updated from ffmpeg-static 5.2.0 to ffmpeg-static 5.3.0 and attempt to compile a video, it throws this new error

[dev:server] DEBUG: Minor FFmpeg glitch: [AVFilterGraph @ 0x321bb8c0] No such filter: 'drawtext'
[dev:server] DEBUG: Minor FFmpeg glitch: [vost#0:0/libx264 @ 0x321b64c0] Error initializing a simple filtergraph
[dev:server] DEBUG: Minor FFmpeg glitch: Error opening output file
[dev:server] DEBUG: Minor FFmpeg glitch: Error opening output files: Filter not found

I think the new FFmpeg version should be compiled with --enable-libfreetype
