Summary: Font directory not found on Win2k/WinNT
Initial Comment:
Plplot v. 5.6.1 with freetype support fails on initialization when run on
Win2K/WinNT; everything is ok on Win95 & WinXP.
The cause seems that plfreetype.c, when compiled on MS platforms, searches for
fonts only in c:\windows\fonts and c:\windows\system\fonts. By default, WinNT
and Win2K installs the operating system in the c:\WinNT folder, so the
"search-for-fonts" algoirithm fails.
Adding the following code in plfreetype.c, starting at line 526 (before
prompting the "Could not find font path") should solve the problem (at least,
for me it worked!)
else if ((a = getenv("WINDIR")) != NULL)
{
strcpy(font_dir,a);
for (a = font_dir; *a; a++)
if (*a == '\\')
*a = '/';
strcat(font_dir,"/fonts/");
}
Best regards,
Gianfranco Zuliani
