Hello,

i work on Linux, my system is based on OpenSuse 11.1-64.

When i try to render certain parts of the world, some characters can't be
resolved, so i try Mapniks fallback behaviour (found in the archives).

I don't know what font name to supply as fallback.

In the osm.xml i use the font face_name="DejaVu Sans Book" and
rendering works fine.

But i can't find that font when i try to use it in an OpenOffice Document
or when i use a font viewer.

On the other hand, when i install a font in /usr/share/fonts/truetype i
can use it in OpenOffice and see it in font viewers but can't use it in
Mapnik.


Can somebody tell me where are fonts installed on Linux that Mapnik uses?

How can i find out the name to use in osm.xml?

Can somebody suggest a good (or several) so that China and India
(and also the rest of the world) gets rendered fine?


Thanks for any hints,
Torsten.
