Fluxbox terminates with error

Couldn't initialize fonts. Check your fontconfig installation.
Aborted

when it tries to load a style referencing to unavailable font.

You can send a bug report to upstream.

Re: [Solved] Fluxbox crashes on changing themes.

Here's my ~/.fluxbox/overlay

! mime/ini
! The following line will prevent styles from setting the background.
background: unset

*font:							        Monofur Nerd Font-10
toolbar.clock.font:                     Monofur Nerd Font-10:bold
toolbar.button.font:                    Monofur Nerd Font-9
toolbar.iconbar.focused.font:		    Monofur Nerd Font-10:bold
menu.hilite.font:                       Monofur Nerd Font-10
window.label.focus.font:		        Monofur Nerd Font-9:bold
window.label.unfocus.font:		        Monofur Nerd Font-9:bold

Re: [Solved] Fluxbox crashes on changing themes.

As mentioned by Seth, Adding font name in overlay file does fix the issue. Thanks for helping!
