hey! returning fan here, so i got the update and i'm on Bunsenlabs Hydrogen (Debian) {linux]. and when i launched the game, it opened and loaded for a while but then i got the error: failed to load GameFont. 

am i missing something/is there a way to fix this? I'm super excited to play the update and tHEN THE FULL GAME  YEAHH <3

anyways so yeah i got an error :( :( :(

Really? Hm...I’ll take a look at that. I’m not super familiar with Linux, but I’ll ask some of my more code-savvy friends about it.

hey, i just got the update 1.0.8 (linux) and it's still giving me "failed to load GameFont"   :'( 

it may be a problem on my end, so i'll keep looking into it

I had this problem too and dug a little into things. Had to load the game in firefox so I could use the development console.

The issue is that gamefont.css tries to load 8bitoperatorplus-regular.ttf, while the file is named 8bitOperatorPlus-Regular.ttf. Linux distinguishes filenames with diferent capitalization.

My solution was making a system link because I don't like changing game data, but you can just rename the file safely.

Thanks a ton! I'll edit the text js file, I'm hoping to put out a patch soon anyway!

Found the root of the issue, you can check my other comment for it.
