Bug#493575: since librrd2 1.2.28-1 rrdtool produces graphics without text
clone 493575 -1 reassign -1 cacti retitle -1 cacti: Allow font names to be given instead of font paths thanks Hi, On Wed, Aug 06, 2008 at 06:09:49PM +0300, Teodor wrote: On Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 3:49 PM, Sebastian Harl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: * bug #493575 refers to version 1.3.x not using the specific fonts. I cannot reproduce that - it works just fine for me. See below. I think you missed the important part of my message: In 1.3 you do not specify a font path, but use font identifiers like this: --font 'DEFAULT:0:Times' --font 'TITLE:12:Verdana' See the manpage for details and the following entry of the upstream changelog (NEWS): * fonts come through fontconfig, use the Pango font nameing scheme - 'Times 20' ... it is not possible to use truetype fonts directly anymore. Yes, I missed that. Thanks for the explanation. I've attached two graph generated with two different fonts, but the spacing is broken probably because I should specify a monospace font. Do you recommend any monospace font for rrdgraph? I'm using the default fonts (DejaVu Sans Mono,Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,monospace,Courier) which work perfectly fine for me. Unfortunately, this breaks other software like cacti which is expecting to be given a font path and is rejecting something like Times or Verdana and gives [ERROR: FILE NOT FOUND]. I see how this is a problem. However, I don't think that it's worth to bloat the rrdtool code by introducing some kind of compat-layer to support the old behavior. Imho, specifying the font name is much more elegant and convenient. Instead, tools using rrdtool should switch to use / support font names as well. I've cloned and reassigned this bug to cacti, so that they can fix this. Imho this bug justifies a freeze exception so a fix should still be able to make it into Lenny. In rrdtool, I'll add an appropriate note to NEWS.Debian and then close this bug.

I think the bug #493594 was for 1.3.x series, not for 1.2.x and maybe this is why another bug report. I could not reproduce this bug with 1.3.1-2. From my tests it seems that `rrdtool' does not use the specified fonts as the graphs are identical no matter which font is given. This works for me in both 1.2.28 and 1.3.1. Note, that the way how to specify the font has changed. In 1.2.28 you had to specify a path to a .ttf file while in 1.3 you may use any font identifier as understood by libpango.

reopen 493575 forcemerge 493575 493594 thanks Hi, Reopening #493575 since Teodor confirmed it. Please note though, that this tag is meant to be used by the maintainers only (see http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#tags). Anyway, I could reproduce the bug with the --font options as provided in #493594, so the tag is fine, and I could confirm that this issue is gone in 1.3. Also, I've merged the bug with #493594 because I believe they are the same - Marc, please tell me if you had different things in mind when opening another bug.

The same problem here (in 'cacti' graphs). Although it doesn't affect the new 1.3.x packages, it might be good to pin the problem and see if there are any other consequences. The graphing part of rrdtool has been rewritten in 1.3, so the problem seems to have been fixed by that.

When rrdtool is called with the following options: --font TITLE:12: \ --font AXIS:8: \ --font LEGEND:10: \ --font UNIT:8: \ The graphs generated do not contain any text. I assume this has been introduced in upstream SVN revision 1403 (fix for --font bug (font names wer not being picked up at all)) but I did not have the time yet to have a closer look at it. Maybe someone else on rrd-developers could try to find the source of the problem.
