In what ways have you modded the game?

Also, what print mode are you using?

Did you export any maps before accepting the world?

I have not modded anything, nor exported maps.
I just run dwarffortress as the terminal command, using the standard install from the Arch repos.
I changed a few settings in /usr/games/data/init/init.txt to make it fullscreen, use my favourite tileset and show the FPS.

Does toggling TrueType fix the problem? Does it crash every time? If not, can you reliably reproduce a crash from specific seeds and vanilla world gen params?

Got it working, somehow the permissions on the saves folder were wrong (something to do with the package manager probably) and it couldn't save the world.
