I Try to use my ContentProcessor, which I wrote on a Linux machine, on a Mac but it crashes with an unexpected failure.
The Pipeline Tool gives me the following
It seems to be a problem with the FontDescription class. In the constructor of my FontDescription class, I create a file if it does not exist. The File is never created, so I assume that the line is never called and the problem is in the base constructor. Since I couldn't find anyone else with this problem I must assume that I am doing something wrong.
My classes look as follows:

From Rider and Visual Studio2019 I get the following message

the spritefont is this

How can I resolve this issue? I tried it with MonoGame 3.6 and 3.7.1, with both I wasn't able to process my files. I tried it with a simple character 'a' to be sure that it isn't a problem of my files but the files were read correctly.
