Comment (by i30817):

 BTW, the plugin that affects this (agsspritefont) was used in the new game
 'The Excavation of Hob's Barrow', in the 'clifftop' configuration, and was
 distributed with a new name.

 Which is a bit problematic in terms of hardcoding because upstream is
 undecisive if it will allow a 'alternate name'.

 https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/issues/1796

 Currently, this crashes scummvm when i try to load it, with or without the
 plugin asked for the information to build in that linked bug (it runs on
 upstream with the built .so). Maybe because scummvm won't load the so
 anyway? Or maybe because the plugin code is outdated anyway, and the ABI
 changed.

 Anyway, it needs a update to run that game, and hopefully upstream
 hardcodes it, like kathy rain and woam. Otherwise, build the plugin for
 your OS and place it on the game dir (assuming the scummvm port will load
 those anyway). This is slightly less portable, which is why i'd prefer the
 hardcoding.
