unknown-horizons don't start probably because searching ttf rather than otf

[Paul Dufresne]

each time I start unknown-horizons:
paul@rafulos:~$ unknown-horizons

Thanks for reporting.

I get the same error message in Ubuntu Lunar, and have also forwarded it to Debian.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

This will be fixed for Ubuntu 23.04 which will be released later this month.
