For me it works, strange. But I always use Mageia, never Ubuntu, probably LazFreeType failled to find the fonts in your system. Could you show me the output of "locate .ttf" ?

You can ask the questions again in the LazUtils section of the forum and maybe he will answer: http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/board,53.0.html > Depending on the license, I might just take a look at that code too. ;-) http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/LazFreeType#License There are no restrictions, but want credits. Maybe I'll implement a --credits command line option and consider it fullfilled. LCL-CustomDrawn-Android currently uses native text, so is unaffected by this requirement. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
