Hi,
I cannot get anything rendered that contains lettering, but only when
using the C++-api. An exception get thrown, stating that a font face
cannot be found.
In trying to track down the problem, I put together this minimal example
(compilable):
// [ snip -------
#include <iostream>
#include <mapnik/font_engine_freetype.hpp>
using namespace std;
int main ( int argc , char** argv)
{
mapnik::freetype_engine::register_font("/usr/share/fonts");
vector<string> face_names = mapnik::freetype_engine::face_names();
for( vector<string>::iterator it = face_names.begin(); it !=
face_names.end(); it++ )
{
cout << "I know of font face " << *it << "\n";
}
}
// ------- snip ]
...which outputs nothing.
On the other hand, the equivalent python code
# [ snip -----
import mapnik
for face in mapnik.FontEngine.face_names(): print face
# ----- snip ]
...outputs a lot of font faces, and I can render maps with lettering
alright.
Oh, and mapnik.fontscollectionpath is "/usr/share/fonts", exactly as I
tried in the C++-version.
What is the right way to register a "fontscollectionpath" using the C++-API?
Thanks!
Julius
