What he means is that according to the stack trace you were asking for:
       home/pi/.fonts/Minecraftia.ttf

instead of
       /home/pi/.fonts/Minecraftia.ttf

If you cut and paste the traceback then that is what happened.  Likely
when you tried a different font you added the missing / and all was well.
