Problem is the broken symlink: /usr/share/games/slingshot/data/FreeSansBold.ttf -> ../../../pyshared/pygame/freesansbold.ttf (probably it is pygame modification that caused this regression).
As a temporary workaround it is possible to install fonts-freefont-ttf package and replace the symlink: sudo apt-get install fonts-freefont-ttf sudo rm -f /usr/share/games/slingshot/data/FreeSansBold.ttf sudo ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSansBold.ttf /usr/share/games/slingshot/data/FreeSansBold.ttf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1400460 Title: slingshot won't lauch (unable to read font filename) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/slingshot/+bug/1400460/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
