[BUG] Cannot proceed without the font: [...].woff2 problem

But as I say the real issue is a mis-configuration on the user machine,
what was intended to be achieved by installing a woff2 font in a directory
indexed by fontconfig?

the systems could perhaps give better error messages but the bug is the
incorrect font installation.
Whatever error message is generated, the fix is to move the font.
