[Rseding91][2.0.24] "Missing specification of font with name" exits Factorio

[sparr]

Attempting to apply a font to a GUI element with a name that doesn't match any font prototype produces this error *and completely exits Factorio*, not just to the main menu like other lua errors.

This is a dupe of viewtopic.php?f=23&t=58892 which I believe was closed in error.

that's working as intended: lua errors show that error box and exit the game to the main menu.

This error does not exit to the main menu. I have encountered this error twice. Once it showed the error dialog then exited the game entirely

Code: Select all

  18.477 Error Util.cpp:81: Missing specification of font with name: "DejaVuSansMono"
  59.707 Info GlobalContext.cpp:760: Deleting active scenario.
  60.044 Steam API shutdown.
  60.075 Goodbye

And the other time it exited the game immediately without even showing the dialog, and I had to check the log file to find out what went wrong

Code: Select all

You're right, I some how miss-understood the other bug report.
