Arch Linux, Font Issue

[KoboDev]

SFP.log

Switched to Arch so I could have a better performance experience after the Big Steam UI update, problem is, everytime i try to launch, it crashes because of an font error. Saying that The Font Family cannot be null or empty. I just want to inject my skin so I dont cringe every second I look at the new UI. (Or in many other peoples cases, have their computer crash due to an memory leak.)

According to this, installing this package should fix it.

Also just to have the error in plain text here, it is:

I built the package and self-installed, rebooted and all. Still not working.
SFP.6.log

Is there something else I should've done?

[PhantomGamers]

What is your system language set to?

[PhantomGamers]

Also have you tried running fc-cache --force, as was also suggested in the thread I initially linked to.

[PhantomGamers]

For additional record keeping purposes: This is actually an upstream issue with SkiaSharp, not with Avalonia specifically.

mono/SkiaSharp#1181

[KoboDev]

What is your system language set to?

Default font: Sans regular
Desktop font: system-ui regular
document font: cantarell Regular
Monospace font: source code pro regular
window title font: sans bold

Also have you tried running fc-cache --force, as was also suggested in the thread I initially linked to.

also tried this, did not work.

Does SFP 48 have the same problem? And I see the fonts you use, but does that mean your system language is set to English?

Ill try 48, and yes my system language is set to English.

Update: tried 48, still not working.

I changed how my attempted fix works and it's available in this nightly build if you want to test

https://nightly.link/PhantomGamers/SFP/actions/runs/5360521115/SFP_UI-linux-x64-SelfContained-9e6cedbc94d2b9469d3ea3f224253854b449ab10.zip

If this doesn't work I'm not really sure what else to try, I guess maybe I'd have to embed a font for Linux, though there are quite a few Linux users that are successfully using the current version of SFP without this error... hm

[PhantomGamers]

This might be fixed in https://github.com/PhantomGamers/SFP/releases/tag/0.0.49 but I need confirmation

[KoboDev]

I tested 0.0.52 and It fixes it.
Sorry for not giving more responses I was busy doing unrelated irl stuff.
I hope whoever sees this, will have a better time now.
