I'm building a new Linux workstation and I'm having issues with fonts on Sven Coop, more specifically them not working. I'm running Fedora 40.
In the terminal, I'm getting the errors:
Unable to create font 'Tahoma': Can't select charmap
Unable to create font 'Ariel': Can't select charmap
I was also getting errors for Verdana, Terbuchet MS and one other font I can't remember the name of. But those went away when I installed the msttcore fonts.
Using fc-list, I can see that Tahoma and Ariel are installed, and both show up in charmap. Where is Sven Coop looking for the fonts to be installed? My Fedora install has them in /usr/share/fonts and /home/$user/.fonts
What doesn't make any sense is that my current Fedora 39 workstation has fonts in the same places and loaded the same way, but it just doesn't work in Fedora 40.
The only way I've been able to get partial text working is editing the TrackerScheme.res and replacing all instances of Tahoma with Michroma, the only other font the game likes. I've tried to use system fonts like Sans and Serif, but SC gives the above error about not being able to see them either
