No.

Steps to reproduce

Change the fontface in profiles.json on what ever profile you want into a invalid fontface/unsupported fontface.

I can confirm. I just ran into this issue with a valid font installed that has multiple spaces in the name.

Thanks for reporting. #550 contains the words “font” “not exist” and “crash”. #1017 as well. Please make sure you search before reporting a new issue.
I know we have an issue tracking the weird rendering for nonexistent fonts too, but I’m on my phone and GitHub mobile search is pretty bad.
