Program Randomly Quitting After Font.createFont() statement

After I try to get the font "ggsans", which is in the src/main/resources folder, the program randomly quits with exit code 1. Code

static {
    try {
        System.out.println("Test Statement!");
        ggReg = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("ggsans.ttf"));
        ggBold = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("ggsansbold.ttf"));
    } catch (FontFormatException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Test Statement!");
    frame = new JFrame();
    System.out.println("Test Statement!");
    frame.add(new MainPanel());
    System.out.println("Test Statement!");
    frame.setVisible(true);
    System.out.println("Test Statement!");    
}

static {
    try {
        System.out.println("Test Statement!");
        ggReg = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("ggsans.ttf"));
        ggBold = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, new File("ggsansbold.ttf"));
    } catch (FontFormatException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Test Statement!");
    frame = new JFrame();
    System.out.println("Test Statement!");
    frame.add(new MainPanel());
    System.out.println("Test Statement!");
    frame.setVisible(true);
    System.out.println("Test Statement!");    
}

It outputs just one "Test Statement" and then exits One thing to note is that there's a lil pause in between the first test statement and the quit. Output

Test Statement!
[pause]
Process finished with exit code 1

Test Statement!
[pause]
Process finished with exit code 1

new File("ggsans.ttf")

File operates with file system. For loading from classpath (which is what src/main/resources belongs to) you have to use something else, eg , https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/Class.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String)

frame = new JFrame();

you shouldn't be interacting with swing component classes outside of swing thread. Use https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/swing/SwingUtilities.html#invokeLater(java.lang.Runnable)

SwingUtilities (Java SE 17 & JDK 17)

declaration: module: java.desktop, package: javax.swing, class: SwingUtilities

Class (Java SE 17 & JDK 17)

declaration: module: java.base, package: java.lang, class: Class
