Hmm. I've found that I encounter the same "DejaVuSans.ttf" error even when
trying to simply run the included StarField example. I even looked through
the code and didn't find one reference to 'font' anywhere in the project. I
am just starting out on learning gambas so I wrote it off at first, but after
reading the discussion here I thought I would at least mention my findings.
Hope that it is helpful in some way to track down what is happening.

Fantastic! That works like a champion. Fonts in SDL are a bit tricky I
see. Thanks everyone for your help.

Sorry for the late reply but i've totaly missed it
Font class act partially like qt's or gtk's one; you cannot use system fonts.

Nice, that actually works.
What's odd is that after some period of time it still halts with the
error "gb.sdl error: Couldn't open
/usr/local/share/gambas3/gb.sdl/DejaVuSans.ttf in Render 834". I checked
the value of Draw.Font after the crash and it reports the Name property
as being "DejaVuSans.ttf", even though I've only been setting it to
"Avatar.ttf". I changed the line to this:
If Draw.Font.Name <> "Avatar.ttf" Then Draw.Font =
Draw.Font.Load("/home/kevinfishburne/Desktop/Sanctimonia,
Server/Images/Font/Avatar.ttf")
and it still crashes. Somehow Draw.Font.Name is being reset to
"DejaVuSans.ttf". I searched the entire project for "Draw.Font" and
nothing else is modifying it. Sounds like a bug. I'm using revision 4229.

Have you tried :
Draw.Font = Draw.Font.Load("/home/kevinfishburne/Desktop/Sanctimonia,
because draw.font.load normally not assignate a font to draw.font but
just return an object handle to a font object

With a DrawingArea you'd have a block like this:
Draw.Begin(DrawingArea)
Draw.Font.Size = 10
Draw.Text(...)
Draw.End
With SDL/OpenGL you have a procedure that is the draw event:
Public Sub Screen_Draw()
Draw.Font.Size = 10
Draw.Text(...)
End
The SDL draw event procedure seems to behave the same way as a
Draw.Begin ... Draw.End block. I tried this:
Draw.Font.Load("/home/kevinfishburne/Desktop/Sanctimonia,
Server/Images/Font/Avatar.ttf")
It doesn't throw an error, but doesn't change the font either. At some
point after that for no apparent reason it then throws the error "gb.sdl
error: Couldn't open /usr/local/share/gambas3/gb.sdl/DejaVuSans.ttf in
Render 834". If I use just "Font.Load("...")" it exhibits the same
behavior but the error message reflects the Avatar.ttf font instead of
DejaVuSans. Weird.
