This is actually a bug in SkiaSharp itself, it should be fixed by next year.

Reopening because SkiaSharp needs to be updated so we don't forget. mono/SkiaSharp#3494 Fix has been merged to main, but isn't in a release yet.

I have this issue too (aarch64 VM), but just wanted to post a workaround that allowed me to install.

# Ubuntu 24.04
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1.12.1 ./WPILibInstaller
