I think I figured this out. When I first tried to launch, I didn't have a directory of working TTF files in /usr/share/ (I did have some but they seem to be broken). According to the top answer here, that can cause a problem with JavaFX. With that directory, and with at least one TTF font inside it, WU launches. Incidentally the developer in that post suggests OTF files should work, but none of mine do.

Hello. I'm on Arch Linux, and WU is crashing on launch saying JavaFX detected no fonts. Unexpected crash while setting up login The error was: <null> It's possible you might figure out what's wrong from the log file below, but if you can't, post the full log on the wurm unlimited forums, and someone else might be able to help you.
