Hi, Can anyone spot what could be wrong here? I keep getting errors like this…
Failed config

Couldn't find ID 'font'. Please check you have defined an ID with that name in your configuration. These IDs look similar: "my_font".

Just need the “my_” added in front of font (see the bottom line).
hey … can you explain from where you are getting the font pls?

G’day mouthpiece. I can’t remember exactly where i got it from as it’s been awhile and I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday, but I would’ve downloaded it off the internet somewhere. This site possibly could’ve been it https://www.wfonts.com/font/comic-sans-ms You can always change it to something else too.

thanks for getting back to me I managed, just downloaded the fonts after a random google search and all worked fine.

Having the same issue. I downloaded the font (on my laptop), but how do I get it into HA / ESPHome?
You move the font to your esphome config folder. It should say where your file should be, if you hover over the error in yaml.
2.5 years later I’m replying because I just had this problem.
I used the Samba Share add-on to allow me to mount HA’s config directory as a Windows network share.
Enable the official Samba Share add-on (Settings > Add-ons > Samba Share)
Configure the user/password (Samba Share page > Configuration Tab)
Enable the add-on (General Tab > Start button in the main area of the page)
Map a network drive in Windows Explorer
Use \192.168.1.x\config as the IP and share name for the HA config directory
Enable “Use Different Credentials” and enter the configured values from Step 2 into the Windows network drive UI
