Font crash with custom theme

lion2

I'm developing a theme for personal use to go with my Retroflag GPi case. In the theme I take assets from two other themes and modify them to have a green gameboy palette. Everything is working fine except the Truetype fonts I'm using . The theme instantly crashes when it comes across a view with the fonts I'm using. They work fine on the PC version of EmulationStation but crash with an error message on the Pi Zero W.

I attached some screenshots. The font at the bottom and on the game list is what I'm trying to use.

Error message: emulationstation: /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/emulationstation/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:17: Font:FontFace: :FontFace(ResourceData&&, int) : Assertion '!err' failed.
Aborted

@lion2 This usually means you haven't copied the font files or if the font path declared in the theme file is not correct. Remember that Linux filesystems are case sensitive, a font path that might work on Windows would not be valid on Linux.
Upload your theme and we'll see why the crash happens.

I'll double check the paths, but I'm not near my Pi Zero to test anything. My theme is in the link below.

@lion2 I think the path is the problem - the font is declared in the system's theme.xml as

<fontPath>./../_inc/fonts/ARCADECLASSIC.ttf</fontPath>

but the filename is all uppercases (ARCADECLASSIC.TTF). Try changing the font filename and see if you still get the crash.

@mitu Makes sense! I guess I just overlooked that after all the recoloring work I did last night. I'll try that as soon as I get home and update. Thank you!

@mitu Fixing the case sensitivity worked! Thanks for your help.
