Seems to be related to AvaloniaUI/Avalonia#4427

[ThePlenkov]

I'm not a developer in this stack but just thinking loud - since this UI cannot find the default script - isn't it better to redefine with some custom font and just make sure it's always installed:

https://docs.avaloniaui.net/docs/guides/styles-and-resources/how-to-use-fonts

[ThePlenkov]

as I also understood this property has to be set somehow in the app:
https://reference.avaloniaui.net/api/Avalonia.Media/FontFamily/A45B6BE0

[Gillibald]

Overriding the system font collection with some embedded font is the best option to avoid this issue

do you know is it possible to do from CLI somehow? May be some command or environment variable?
thanks!

[hollyplankdev]

For what it's worth - I ran into this as well when running git-credential-manager github login on Ubuntu 24. I just worked around it using the --no-ui flag - so:

git-credential-manager github login --no-ui

[ThePlenkov]

Hi! Is there any progress on this issue? Still doesn't work in LTS 24.04

[Gillibald]

You can avoid this issue by bundleing a default font with the application

[ThePlenkov]

but that's what I assume must be done on the GCM side, btw i just noticed that my veriosn is 2.4.1 and newest version is 2.5.1
so it might be already fixed there. Somehow dotnet doesn't install it

[ThePlenkov]

Ok Installed 2.5.1 and can confir that issue is fixed. Closing this one
