Details

After I installed the angband I got the following error

angband: Couldn't load the requested font. (10x20)

I found the following report that described the issue: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/1290

I dowloaded the PKGBUILD from the aur git package and made the following changes

$ cat PKGBUILD.patch
38,40c38,42
< --enable-gtk \
< --enable-sdl \
< --enable-sdl-mixer
---
> --disable-gtk \
> --disable-sdl \
> --disable-sdl-mixer \
> --disable-x11 \
> --enable-curses

I have verified that building the package with these changes resolves the error
This task depends upon

I once had this reported: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57751
Installing xorg-fonts-misc worked for a while but doesn't anymore. I'm curious: What type of font do the angband devs expect to load here?

I placed it in the bug tracker of angband and they have replied already: https://github.com/angband/angband/issues/4575
