#34072: gnuplot & gd: Could not find/open font when opening font "arial" --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: mojca.miklavec.lists@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.4 Keywords: | Port: gnuplot --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Comment(by mojca.miklavec.lists@…): Using the latest gd2 and gnuplot from macports doesn't change anything. I have Arial.ttf at the following two locations: {{{ /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/Arial.ttf /Library/Fonts Disabled/Arial.ttf }}} Maybe the main difference between your and my mac is location of Arial.ttf. I realized that the problem goes away if I use {{{ export GDFONTPATH=/Library/Fonts/Microsoft }}} before running Gnuplot (but output of show fontpath doesn't change even if I change GDFONTPATH). The behaviour is "confirmed" on an "almost clean" mac where "set term png" doesn't complain at all, but on that machine the font is under /Library/Fonts without any subfolder. Most likely Microsoft Office has moved Arial.ttf under /Library/Fonts Disabled/. Yet another reason why using fontconfig for gd2 would help. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34072#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
