Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/galen_liu/.emacs.d/init.el’:

Wrong type argument: listp, Source Code Pro

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace.

Looks like this line doesn't handle the case where dotspacemacs-default-font is a list of plists.

As a temporary workaround, you can either install the font "Source Code Pro" or change dotspacemacs-default-font to use a font that is installed on your computer.

OK, install "Source Code Pro" manually, can workaround this issue.
adobe-fonts/source-code-pro#17 (comment)

git clone --depth 1 --branch release https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro.git ~/.fonts/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro
fc-cache -f -v ~/.fonts/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro

[deb0ch]

You can also just download the release binaries instead of cloning the entire repo.

I fixed this.

Note that if this bug affected you, your font config is incorrect.
