From a quick search, these ._* files seem to be some sort of MacOS metadata. Have you by any chance used MacOS to copy Morrowind's data files? OpenMW tries to load all *.fnt in the Fonts/ directory so a non-font file would produce that error.

I did use my mac to copy the data files! What would you suggest I do to fix this error?

Remove such metadata files, I suppose.

I just installed OpenMW and I'm having this same exact issue. However, when I go into the fonts folder, ~/steamapps/common/Morrowind/Data Files/Fonts, I'm not seeing any files named ._century_gothic_big.fnt regardless of if I have "show hidden files" enabled or not in Finder. Any tips?
