I had to change the FontName property in Hud.spritefont to FreeSans in order to build the sample.
There is no Arial or Arial Bold font since i'm using Ubuntu.

Only just spotted this, but I find it odd this hasn't come up before, will do a fresh clone and test.

The Arial font is a proprietary font and is not included in most Linux repositories due to licensing restrictions.

You can install Microsoft's TrueType core fonts using the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer.

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

We recently went through this exercise with the new "StartKit" templates. I'll ensure we also follow though with that work to update our current samples.
