@CLIDragon can it be a consequence of #78830?

[Procyonae]

Posting your config/fonts.json would be useful

[ektoplazm]

fonts.json

[Procyonae]

fonts.json
As a temporary workaround you can replace it with this (you can remove Roboto again if that was intentional like)

[Procyonae]

The way we find the files is pretty funky and CLI's PR seems to be flagging extensionless fonts as invalid now when the code can (or at least could) deal with them fine (see #72922 (comment) for me attempting to figure out the code)

throwing my two cents, i got this when i booted up my game

 DEBUG    : Font specifiers must be an array, object, or string.

And your font file looks like? :^)

We didn't support extensionless fonts before, we just failed without an error. However, it seems that I did accidentally break the font fallback code, see #78978.

EDIT: It turns out that we did support extensionless fonts. We do still support them for fonts loaded through SDL, namely gui_typeface, overmap_typeface, and map_typeface. However, based on reading #45319 this isn't something that is desired to continue.

I get the same error on android. When I replace fonts.json with the workaround file I get:

DEBUG : Font file 'data/font/Roboto-Medium.ttf' does not exist.

FUNCTION : void load_font(ImGuiIO &, const std::vector<font_config> &, const ImWchar *)

#78999 will fix this.

[RenechCDDA]

Should be resolved by #78999
