same error on win7 64bit.
I've downloaded and put 'Junicode-Regular.ttf' into fonts folder,and still can't open the game.

How should Wesnoth be able to read a file you just deleted?
Besides, I'm not sure whether you really need to run "make" after running "cmake" - isn't "make" only part of the not-anymore-supported Autotools?

Of course you have to run make afterwards!

The only relevant (and critical) message is the *last* one. The stuff about the font as well as the config dir are irrelevant and normal/expected. The other one really sounds strange. Are you sure that you have not edited your sources data dir? And have you removed your old installation before running "make install"? That is: in the source tarball the term GUI__FONT_COLOUR_ENABLED__DEFAULT is not used, so something is really wrong.

'/home/seva/.config/wesnoth/preferences' for reading.[/tt]

I have deleted preferences just to be sure bug is still there.

Wesnoth can run just fine without preferences file, of course.

And have you removed your old installation before running "make install"?

Problem solved: either I forgot to say `make uninstall` in old svn 1.9.x sources or it didt not worked as expected. Removing /usr/local/share/wesnoth and then reinstalling helps.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Good to know, thanks.
Now it's obvious why cmake never worked for me...

i also see that

warning font: Failed opening font file 'Junicode-Regular.ttf': No such file or directory

but the game loads ok. is the font an optional component and where should it go?

It's optional if you don't want to play in Old English (in the fuþorc). If you really want to suppress that warning, put it in Wesnoth's "fonts" directory.
