Hello, I have packaged gimp for a linux distribution and when using gimp I get the following:
Due to lack of any fonts, text functionality is not available. If I try to use the text tool, I can't write, because no fonts are available. On my system I have: dejavu, liberation. As I have seen, I need to run fc-cache such that the fonts will be found. The must be available in /var/cache/fontconfig. There, I have the following: ls -l /var/cache/fontconfig/ total 80 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48208 Nov 22 23:35 2c204173d3592afc30a350ed81f64c67-le64.cache-7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168 Nov 22 23:35 3830d5c3ddfd5cd38a049b759396e72e-le64.cache-7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 200 Dec 18 20:34 CACHEDIR.TAG -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144 Nov 22 23:35 c855463f699352c367813e37f3f70ea7-le64.cache-7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20064 Nov 22 23:35 f6b893a7224233d96cb72fd88691c0b4-le64.cache-7 I have run fc-cache, it didn't help. I had to compile gimp and build it from source. I compiled it with the following: ------------------------- ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --libexecdir=/usr/bin \ --disable-altivec \ --disable-static \ --disable-python \ --disable-nls \ --without-lcms \ --without-webkit make ------------------------- Fontconfig is installed, with fc-list I get: -------------- /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSerif-Italic.ttf: DejaVu Serif:style=Italic /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSansMono.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf: DejaVu Sans,DejaVu Sans Condensed:style=Condensed Bold,Bold /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSans-Italic.ttf: Liberation Sans:style=Italic /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf: DejaVu Sans:style=Bold /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf: Liberation Mono:style=Regular /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSerif-BoldItalic.ttf: DejaVu Serif:style=Bold Italic /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSansCondensed-Oblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans,DejaVu Sans Condensed:style=Condensed Oblique,Oblique /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSans-Bold.ttf: Liberation Sans:style=Bold /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-BoldItalic.ttf: Liberation Mono:style=Bold Italic /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: Liberation Sans:style=Regular /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf: Liberation Serif:style=Bold /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSerifCondensed-BoldItalic.ttf: DejaVu Serif,DejaVu Serif Condensed:style=Condensed Bold Italic,Bold Italic /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSerifCondensed.ttf: DejaVu Serif,DejaVu Serif Condensed:style=Condensed,Book /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Italic.ttf: Liberation Mono:style=Italic /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSerif.ttf: DejaVu Serif:style=Book /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSerif-Italic.ttf: Liberation Serif:style=Italic /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuMathTeXGyre.ttf: DejaVu Math TeX Gyre:style=Regular /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSans-BoldItalic.ttf: Liberation Sans:style=Bold Italic /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSerif-BoldItalic.ttf: Liberation Serif:style=Bold Italic /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf: DejaVu Sans:style=Book /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf: Liberation Serif:style=Regular /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans:style=Oblique /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSerifCondensed-Italic.ttf: DejaVu Serif,DejaVu Serif Condensed:style=Condensed Italic,Italic /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSansMono-Oblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Oblique /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans,DejaVu Sans Condensed:style=Condensed Bold Oblique,Bold Oblique /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf: DejaVu Sans,DejaVu Sans Condensed:style=Condensed,Book /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSans-ExtraLight.ttf: DejaVu Sans,DejaVu Sans Light:style=ExtraLight /usr/share/fonts/TTF/LiberationMono-Bold.ttf: Liberation Mono:style=Bold /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf: DejaVu Serif:style=Bold /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSerifCondensed-Bold.ttf: DejaVu Serif,DejaVu Serif Condensed:style=Condensed Bold,Bold /usr/share/fonts/X11/TTF/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans:style=Bold Oblique --------------------- So I have no idea why I can't write text on a picture in gimp.
