neovim-qt: Unknown font: on latest nvim release

I updated to Neovim 4.2, released yesterday. When running nvim-qt I now get a startup error:

Unknown font:

I’m on windows. I’ve tried it with NORC. Same behavior. nvim is fine, but nvim-qt is not.

I built and installed nvim-qt this morning with the patch - it works for me 😃

I can reproduce this on Linux (ArchLinux; nvim v0.4.2, nvim-qt v0.2.14-1).

Your commands support our suspicions… Also, it looks like our default font selection on Linux could use some work.

IMHO monospace is good enough, it should select the most appropriate font. I’m on i3 with a barebones installation, I don’t have many fonts installed. I think on KDE and GNOME it should pickup the “native” font for the system, configurable somewhere.
