Hi there,
I'm sure this should be easy, but I'm finding it really impossible to get
Mapnik to use a font other than "DejaVu Sans Book".
I have all the DejaVu fonts and a few from the Shrewsbury family sitting there:
bio...@bio:/var/mapnik$ ls /usr/local/lib/mapnik/fonts/
DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf DejaVuSansCondensed-Oblique.ttf
DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf DejaVuSans.ttf
DejaVuSerifCondensed-Bold.ttf DejaVuSerif.ttf
Shrewsbury-Titling Bold.ttf
DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf
DejaVuSansMono-Oblique.ttf DejaVuSerif-BoldOblique.ttf
DejaVuSerifCondensed-Oblique.ttf Shrewsbury Bold.ttf
Shrewsbury-Titling.ttf
DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf DejaVuSans-ExtraLight.ttf
DejaVuSansMono.ttf DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf
DejaVuSerifCondensed.ttf Shrewsbury-Condensed Bold.ttf Shrewsbury.ttf
DejaVuSansCondensed-Bold.ttf DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique.ttf
DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf DejaVuSerifCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf
DejaVuSerif-Oblique.ttf Shrewsbury-Condensed.ttf
I can't work out how on earth to refer to other fonts. The first of these
works, but I've not worked out how to refer to a serif font:
<Rule>
<Filter>[place] = 'city'</Filter>
<TextSymbolizer name="name" face_name="DejaVu Sans Book" size="35"
fill="#FFC378" halo_fill="#2F200C" halo_radius="2" wrap_width="0"/>
</Rule>
<Rule>
<Filter>[place] = 'town'</Filter>
<TextSymbolizer name="name" face_name="DevaVu Serif Bold" size="28"
fill="#FFC378" halo_fill="#2F200C" halo_radius="2" wrap_width="20"/>
</Rule>
I get this error:
bio...@bio:/var/mapnik$ ./generate_image.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./generate_image.py", line 69, in ?
render(m, im)
UserWarning: Unable to find specified font face 'DevaVu Serif Bold'
Specifying "Shrewsbury" does at least render, but the font comes up as squares
rather than letters.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Kind regards,
