These most likely share an explanation. The "Family" name of the font is 
"SourceCodePro" according to the source code in its Github repo. 
However, fonts have multiple name fields and it may be that there's some 
subtle discrepancy in the font file and/or how the system is handling it 
that has result in it looking for the wrong name. As Benny said, this is 
almost certainly an error that is coming through MM from a system 
library rather than something MM is doing wrong,
