UPDATE: Claude actually solved it:
Now we can see everything clearly. There are "FONTIN" references across multiple files — PassiveTreeView.lua, Tooltip.lua, GemSelectControl.lua, and ItemsTab.lua. The skill tree crash is specifically PassiveTreeView.lua.
Rather than editing files manually, run these commands to fix all of them at once:
cd /Applications/PathOfBuilding.app/Contents/MacOS/Classes
sed -i '' 's/"FONTIN SC ITALIC"/"VAR"/g' *.lua
sed -i '' 's/"FONTIN SC"/"VAR"/g' *.lua
sed -i '' 's/"FONTIN ITALIC"/"VAR"/g' *.lua
sed -i '' 's/"FONTIN"/"VAR"/g' *.lua

Thank you !
There is also a reference in a file inside Modules directory so i duplicated this in Modules directory.
My full "updatePathOfBuilding.sh" file :

DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
