I'm seeing these on Fedora. Has anyone gotten any farther on a fix? Andrew Ross posted: The error message comes from lasi, but only because FT_Load_Glyph returns an error. Supressing the fatal error in lasi means that most of example 07 plots successfully. There are just a couple of symbols which produce an error, and then just appear as a blank square in the plot. It does depend slightly which font you use. Removing Arial (the default font used) resulted in slightly fewer problems. The double quote character still caused errors though. So from this I surmise it is not (just) a font problem. It appears to be a freetype problem. Note that the plplot freetype code does not use FT_Load_Glyph, which may be why the problem does not occur in the gd driver. I've search the web and found no explicit reference to this so far. I will try and investigate further. ----- I'm tempted to just disable this test for now so that I can release a new plplot rpm for Fedora development. Any easy way that I can disable this specific test? I guess ctest -E psttfc should do the trick, although that disables all of the tests, not just number 07. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
