Crash when making text (linux)

[DeejayArroba]

Whenever I click to place text in the world the editor crashes. This is on Arch Linux and the error says something about not finding a font?

Eh Linux again :D we search for fonts on different directories on Linux, and apparently for every linux this place is different. But I am not sure why it crashes I remember we did ensure it won't crash even if directory is not there... Thanks for reporting! Will take a loook.

As for easy fix, make sure there is .fonts directory in your /user/[username/ directory And it should open up.

[DeejayArroba]

Ah, that worked. I didn't have the .fonts directory before. It still crashed if the directory was empty though, I had to put some fonts in it to make it work. Thanks for the response

[azakhary]

Please don't close the issue though, the crash has to be fixed. Also, where does your linux version keep fonts normally?

[DeejayArroba]

/usr/share/fonts, but the vast majority of the fonts are in the /usr/share/fonts/TTF subdirectory
