The silent error `user error (createFontSet)` would break certain modules (like the prompt) by simply not showing anything. Pango 1.44 dropped support for FreeType in favor of HarfBuzz, losing support for traditional BDF/PCF bitmap fonts. Hence, some distributions don't ship `xorg-fonts-misc` anymore.
