Fontconfig does not flag invalid font names.

Using Chordpro core 6.060 on Windows 11.

I want to use a very popular font. It is the german DIN font. Microsoft has implemented a similar font in Windows - where it is called "Bahnschrift". But this is one TTF-File with many Subfonts inside. I did not find any way to use it under chordpro. So I looked for some other implementation for the font that is contained in one TTF file for every subfont. I found a good candidate in Google Fonts. It is called Barlow. But unfortunately there seems to be a problem with Chordpro when I try to use that font. I receive the following error message.

The error message indicates a problem with reading the font information. It could be as easy as a missing font file.

Can you run chordpro with additional --define debug.fonts=2 argument?

Yes sure.

Ah, found it. It's the line (fonts5.json):

      italic: Barlow-Italic

It is missing the .ttf.

I'll be the first to admit that this should be detected, so I leave this issue open.

Thank you so much!
