I experience the same issue with some other titles which are able to launch directly from itch.io. The same error message about default font. Does anyone know of a solution?

Common issue with RPG Maker games; navigate to directory with nw binary

mkdir fonts;
echo '<fontconfig><dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir><cachedir>fonts</cachedir></fontconfig>' > fonts/fonts.conf;
FONTCONFIG_PATH=fonts ./nw

Thank you very much. This works! So now I'll have to launch the game like this every time?

First two commands are one-time use; the variable is important; you have multiple options for last line like adding alias in shell rc, exporting variable in shell profile or creating .desktop file
