[Bug 312804] Re: fails to display text in graphs

[Steve McInerney]

Hmmm. 3.8.1beta3 is a tad old. We're up to 3.10.2 now. ie There's been
about 8 beta and production releases since then.

Shrug - is no matter. The problem is twofold:

1. The dependency is (apparently) against libgd2-noxpm - which won't
work. You need libgd2-xpm. ie the one with fontconfig support. Would be
delighted to be proven wrong!

2. I think it was in the 3.8.x series, but the fallback font used can be overridden (from the Fedora or OpenSuse - I forget which - default) in the ./configure.
./configure --with-font-default=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/VeraBd.ttf --with-font-label=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/VeraBd.ttf

or create symlinks to achieve the same result. Perhaps ironically, these
options were put in for other distro's to use. :-)

You can also use --disable-ttf via ./configure to use the GD bitmap
fonts - a-la webalizer.


HTH?
Cheers!
