Dear Oliver
I am no expert, but after your first email, I played around a bit. I
am on Ubuntu 18.10 running Pd 0.48.2, and I cannot reproduce your
problem. I tried:
pd -font-face "Celeste Small"
Pd started OK, and Celeste Small was loaded as the default font (see
screenshot — just a labelled canvas).
strange ... this is what happens on my system when i do this:
WARNING: Font family '"Celeste' not found, using default (DejaVu Sans Mono)
Small": can't open
-font-size: can't open
12: can't open
-font-weight: can't open
normal: can't open
(Tcl) UNHANDLED ERROR: extra characters after close-quote
while executing
"pdtk_startup_dialog .gfxstub5648e27e9080 0 "-font-face "C"
("uplevel" body line 7)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $docmds"
from that point on PD doesn't respond to anything anymore.
Tested on both PD 0.48 and PD 0.49
BTW: my system is:
Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) with an XFCE desktop
(but the same happened on a Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS)
did you really use "normal" quotes ? i also tried escaping the
whitespace with a backslash but no luck
Pd seems to rely on the OS to find fonts for it, so I don’t think you
need to worry about search paths & creating extra folders. If you want
to play around with renamed fonts, dropping them into
~/.local/share/fonts should be fine.
If your system does have a problem with whitespace or quotes, remember
that you are giving -font-face the font’s name, not the font’s file
name.
can you elaborate a little more ? what exactly is the difference ? PD
seems to be looking for a "font family", at least this is what the
warning on the console says
=================================================
WARNING: Font family 'Courier_New' not found, using default (DejaVu Sans
Mono)
=================================================
BUT: what actually DID work was "-font-face FreeMono" - which looks
similar to courier, so that will do for the moment.
all other methods you suggested (creating aliases,
copying fonts to "~/.local/share/fonts" and renaming them,
using any other "non-space" font) failed, though
anyway, thanks a lot for your suggestions, i already know more than
before ;-)
