Dear list, a newbie question follows:
I have managed to install grass64 using latest osgeo4w installer and can now (after a few modifications) run shell scripts in a Msys window. However, I noticed something weird: the fontcap file was referring to a directory which did not exist i.e. to /c/OSGEO4W/apps/grass/grass-6.4.0svn/fonts. I created the dir and ran g.mkfontcap with extradirs=c:/winnnt/fonts and it went through all right. But still, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that I can use only the default font. At least for labels. Any idea how to fix this? can I just download the fronts from somewhere, install them to the fonts dir, and run the g.mkfontcap again? Thanks, ilumas p.s. uname -a in msys gives MINGW32_NT-5.1 1.0.11(0.46/3/2) 2007-01-12 12:05 i686 Msys Grass: GRASS 6.4.0svn p.p.s Needed osgeo4w installation tricks to start the grass64 and to run gdal and ogr tools from an msys window: remove (skip) libjpeg-ipp package remove zoneinfo package (last one) open Msys shell find /C/OSGeo4W/ -name 'Init.sh‘ change the value of GISBASE in /c/OSGeo4W/bin/grass64 to point to /c/OSGEO4W/apps/grass/grass-6.4.0svn (mkdir c:/OSGEO4W/apps/grass/grass-6.4.0svn/fonts) (g.mkfontcap -o extradirs=/C/winnt/fonts/) for GDAL if you see complains about missing DLLs, just rename/move corresponding libs located in C:\OSGeo4W\bin\gdalplugins\ directory. Or install the required libs. for OGR if you see complains about missing DLLs, just rename/move corresponding libs located in C:\OSGeo4W\bin\gdalplugins\ directory. Or install the required libs.
