#### Possible problems

##### `unresolved external symbol gtk_font_chooser_level_get_type`

This is [a bug](https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk/issues/794) in version 0.6 of gtk-rs with versions of
GTK prior to 3.22.30; either use gtk-rs from Git directly or backport [the fix](https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk/pull/804)
into the copy of gtk-rs in your Cargo registry.

`%VCPKGDIR%\bin` is too late in the `PATH` environment variable, and DLLs for other programs are being found before the ones installed alongside GTK. Move `%VCPKGDIR%\bin` earlier in your `PATH` and try again.
