Solution:

1. Download and unpack font package 'SourceCodeProFonts' (use Google for it).
2. Copy 'SourceCodePro-Regular.ttf' next to 'uPyCraft_V1.1.exe' and rename it to 'SourceCodePro.ttf'
3. Run 'uPyCraft_V1.1.exe'
4. Select 'Yes' when Popup appear
5. In font viewer window choose install font button
6. Done.

Unfortunately, this solution doesn't work.

Worked for me. Using uPyCraft V1.0 on Windows 10

[vvkuryshev]

uPyCraft V1.1 with Win10 (1809, build 17763.253) repeat asking for font installation again an again.

Fix this please. This really needs to be fixed.

What a fucking advice? Now it's impossible to use due to giant letters.

Yeah, the solution does not work, has been documented by many that IT DOES NOT WORK, and nothing but silence so far from the developers. This one of the reasons that open source solutions some times are a horrible option. Let me state it again... right now... the stated solution DOES NOT WORK with 1.0 or 1.1 on Windows 10 (current). It is clear that the issue is with uPyCraft, since the font is DEFINITELY INSTALLED per the Windows environment.

If you are an expert in QT and Python, you may better help the community by forking, fixing the code and sending a push request.

I have uPyCraft v1.1 with SourceCodePro.ttf installed in Windows and I don't have any more the error message which is the topic of this issue. So as far as I'm concerned the issue is closed.

I have the font installed and get the error message as well. Using uPyCraft 1.1 on Windows 10.

[barbudor]

I have the font installed and doesn't get the message on either Win7 or Win10.
Are you sure that the font is properly installed ?
Can you select it in another app such as wordpad or word?

[johannesrave]

I checked in Krita, LibreOffice and C:\System\Fonts - the font is definitely installed.
I recentely had problems making fonts that WEREN'T installed to C:\System\Fonts show up in Inkspace - it seems something had changed regarding user-based Windows 10-font managment, so maybe something is going on there?

[barbudor]

I had to install the font with admin privilege and manually. Installing it from the window that popped up from uPyCraft didn't worked.
But as far as you see the font in other programs it should mean it is installed.
It seems the font file as to be named SourceCodePro.ttf without any other attribute (no '-regular' or other stuff)
At least this how it is on my Win10 PC

To stop missunderstandings, maybe better to share here correct font file?
