Thanks for the report! Have you setup an .alacritty.yml? In any case, the code here should probably handle bad font config and provide a helpful message.

[SolarAquarion]

No, I have not. But it should be installed in either /etc/xdg/alacritty or /etc/alacritty. It should also be able to look for XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty or ~/.alacritty.yml

I hadn't thought about having a system level configuration file; that's a good idea. Per user configuration is supported by reading from $HOME/.alacritty.yml or $HOME/config/alacritty.yml. You can copy the alacritty.yml from the project root.

it still fails

[jwilm]

I'm guessing the font specified in the config isn't available on your system. Adding an issue to improve error messages on that front.

[SolarAquarion]

Just have "monospace" as the default font. Let me try that

Alacritty's fontconfig wrapper has been rewritten to not panic at all, and I think that means the original error you encountered should be fixed. There's still some work to do on error handling in the font loading code, however.

[SolarAquarion]

it's launches now thankfully. I just need to change the font to a nicer one to be more "Nerd Font"

[jwilm]

Awesome. So others don't run into the same issue you did, I've updated the font loading code default to find whatever monospace font is default on the system and use that.
