Thanks for the report. It's something that goes away with EFL dev (at least on EFL commit ca169ec715, which I'm based on). IIRC, there was a bug with text classes in edje files prior 1.24...
I'm working on changes that get rid of them and should resolve this. Hopefully to land this month.

As a local workaround, you can add:

font='the font name' font_size=10

to all the styles in default.edc. It should allow eovim to run, but with limited font support.

Mmm, sorry, I am novice, I see only one default.edc (and I have no idea what it is...).
Should I add the line
font='the font name' font_size=10
as it is, just at the end of this file after :
#include "cursor.edc"
#include "tab.edc"
}
.....?

[pcouderc12]

And I see styles in it :
style { name: "cmdline"; base: "color=#bcbcbc wrap=word left_margin=2 right_margin=2 text_class=cmdline"; } style { name: "cmdline"; base: "color=#bcbcbc wrap=word left_margin=2 right_margin=2 text_class=cmdline"; }

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Yes, that's there.

    }
    style { name: "cmdline_slash_info";
       base: CMDLINE_INFO_STYLE("#ffffa7");

If you make the changes in the diff above, Eovim should not segfault. Here, I used the Courier font with size 14. However, changing the font after startup will not take effect in some parts... I have to find a proper fix for this to work with EFL 1.23.

Also, I just noticed that there is a weird behavior with Courier, (there is "wave effect when the cursor changes lines) that I do not observe with Fira Code.

[pcouderc12]

Ok, fine after reinstall :

sudo cmake --build . --target install

Thank you very much !

For reference, the font problems in EFL 1.23 (and probably earlier versions) seem to be mentioned in upstream T8477.
