By stuck you mean it hangs, never finishes?

Can you show the output of the agg command with -vv option added for extra verbosity?

I was having similar issues in Termux. The fix for me was putting --font-dir=~/.termux
Pointing to this font dir path found & used the fonts.
Example: agg --font-dir=~/.termux demo.cast demo.gif

@mbekkomo you can try recently released agg 1.5.0 (https://github.com/asciinema/agg/releases/tag/v1.5.0) which handles font loading and rendering much better.

@ku1ik I can't test it since I can't reproduce the issue. I'm using VanillaOS right now. @gnit24 can probably try it out.
