Not being able to initialize fonts is usually the direct consequence of a failure to read data/hardwired/fonts.cfg, possibly because the game data dir was incorrectly set or detected. Thus, it's the ideal point during early initialization to provide a hint on stderr for players. I specifically avoided mentioning anything about "installing" the game so as to not contribute to the common misconception that the game needs to be installed to run.
The Battle for Wesnoth is a Free, turn-based tactical strategy game with a high
fantasy theme, featuring both single-player, and online/hotseat multiplayer
combat. Fight a desperate battle to reclaim the throne of Wesnoth, or take hand
