X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  17
  Current serial number in output stream:  35

I believe the issue is likely in gui.hpp on line 66. Perhaps giving the option to the user to supply their own font name would solve this issue?

Thanks for your time, keep up the good work!

Thank you for report, that's a wrong assumption I have made here, can you change line 66 to this and test again:
std::vector<style> styles_{ { "normal", "6x13", {}, 2, 6, 13, 158 } };
I will test and fix problem on arch very soon. i didn't see this problem on other distros.

Nemin32 commented

Yes, it does work when I change the line, however, I am not able to set the font weight to bold. Is this intentional? The arrows next to the "normal" text are grayed out.

ashtum commented

Yes, bold style shouldn't work after change, because we removed bold entry in styles. i just wanted to make sure the problem is with "7x13B" font.
I think there is no 7x13 font in this /usr/share/fonts/misc or this ./share/fonts/X11/misc/ path on your machine.
I'm installing arch on vm now to narrow down the issue.

What is your desktop environment ?

Nemin32 commented

I'm using KDE with SDDM as DM.

ashtum commented

I think you can solve the issue by installing xorg-fonts-misc package.

Nemin32 commented

I've installed it, but I'm still getting the same error.

I'm also having this error, I use Arch with Bspwm and ly as DM.

Nemin32 commented

Logging out and logging in after installing xorg-fonts-misc solved the issue. I recommend putting the dependency in the README file. Have a nice day.
