New issue by Sichelmondprinz on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/44193

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 6.1.30_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate rrFF

### Package(s) Affected

wezterm-20230408_1

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

_No response_

### Expected behaviour

If I execute a command like `sudo` that requests a password input with the lock icon next to it, no error should happen and the program should continue like expected.

### Actual behaviour

If I execute a command like `sudo` that requests a password input with the lock icon next to it, a new wezterm window opens with the following error message:

```
Unable to load a font matching one of your font_rules:
wezterm.font('monospace', {weight="Regular", stretch='Normal', style=Normal}).
Fallback(s) are being used instead, and the terminal may not render as
intended. See https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/fonts.html for more
information
```

I can simply close the window and it won't open again for the rest of the current wezterm session. But it'll open again if I close it and re-open it.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Start wezterm in a relatively clean wayland session
2. Run a command with sudo or anything other that shows a password prompt with a lock icon
3. Error window opens

Comment:
My guess is that it's related to this patch:
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/blob/master/srcpkgs/wezterm/patches/monospace.patch

and it not finding any font under that name. I temporarily fixed it for my system by replacing "monospace" in that patch with a font present on my system.

"monospace" might get installed by some xorg package, which is missing since my system is wayland based instead.

Comment:
monospace is the alias for whatever default monospace font there is for fontconfig. Idk how wayland and fontconfig interact

Comment:
It seems like manually installing `dejavu-fonts-ttf` fixed this issue.
Making sure there is at least one font available under the name "monospace" when installing/starting wezterm might be a good idea.

Until then I'll close this issue and leave the answer here for other people having the same problem!

Making sure there is at least one font available under the name "monospace" when installing/starting wezterm might be a good idea. If this is a case you wanna handle, a separate issue might be suited for that.
