Work-around for now is either:

1. Copy Arial.ttf from /System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental to /System/Library/Fonts/
2. Use parameter --font to supply the full path to the font file (i.e. --font /System/Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf).

Going to wait to see if this is changed currently only with beta or if the final release will have this as well.

+1 same problem on beta, thanks for mitigation

[alexyida]

Seeing this on the final release as well.

I needed a slightly different fix for this on macOS Catalina. The initial message I got was:

$ tesla_dashcam
Font file /Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf does not exist. Provide a valid font file using --font or disable timestamp using --no-timestamp

So, I just dealt with the issue by doing this:

sudo ln -s /Library/Fonts/Arial\ Unicode.ttf /Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf

[ehendrix23]

Just to confirm, /Library/Fonts/Arial Unicode.ttf does exist on Catalina right?

[spkane]

My Catalina install was an upgrade, but since this is a system directory I am pretty sure that this should exist in all Catalina macOS systems.

Fixed in release 0.1.16
