crashing when running the following command on linux:

python -m creator

produces the following output

X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)

This appears to be related to missing font.. I'm using an emoji on the buttons... so check to see if this is indeed the issue.

The user must have an installed font that supports glyphs. I'll add a check for operating system and catch this error with a pop-up notification to install the font.

>>  sudo apt-get install fonts-symbola

as far as I know, I can't find a way to catch this error. So, I'll have to make sure I post something on the read-me for Linux users.
