When trying to start EVE Online's launcher, I get the following error right before it crashes out:

[32:36:0419/170207.119:ERROR:network_change_notifier_win.cc(142)] WSALookupServiceBegin failed with: 8
ALSA lib /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/alsa-lib-1.2.8-r1/work/alsa-lib-1.2.8/src/pcm/pcm_dmix.c:972:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) The dmix plugin supports only playback stream
[32:36:0419/170208.962:ERROR:platform_font_skia.cc(343)] Could not find any font: Tahoma, sans. Falling back to the default
carrier0/evelog.sh: line 26: 10006 Killed                  wine /home/elassus/carrier0/EVE-win/Launcher/evelauncher.exe

The "could not find any font" error message pops up a second before the launcher closes, so that's all I have to go on. Downgrading to wine-proton-7.0.6 results in the launcher starting and being able to run the EVE client without issue. I don't have winetricks/protontricks installed.

Is there any other info you need?

I've just tried EVE Online with Proton 8.0 and it seems to be fine. The Steam version that is.

Proton 8.0 $ fd tahoma
dist/share/wine/fonts/tahoma.ttf
dist/share/wine/fonts/tahomabd.ttf

Are you building this version of Wine and try to use it outside of Proton? It's not really supported or tested and you are mostly on your own.

FWIW Tahoma-compatible font we are using is distributed with Wine https://github.com/ValveSoftware/wine/tree/proton_8.0/fonts and it should get installed with Wine. My guess is that you might not have installed it correctly or don't have $WINE_FONT_DIR set.
