Hi Dane,
thank you very much! For now, I will make do with adding the fonts one
by one (its only three files, anyway).
Best regards,
Julius

Hi Julius,
The problem is that the mapnik::freetupe_engine::register_font() function needs
the full path to a font file.
So, to help with this I recently added to Mapnik trunk, and the 0.7.x
development branch, the ability to recursively register all viable fonts within
a directory tree.
So, you can either recompile Mapnik 0.7.2 or take a peek at how this function
works:
https://trac.mapnik.org/changeset/2026/branches/0.7.2-dev
To grab the 0.7.2 code do:
svn co http://svn.mapnik.org/branches/0.7.2-dev/ mapnik-0.7.2

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
