Hi Tobi > this is likely to be an issue with your groff
Um, yes. I was accidentally using an ancient version! When I switched to groff v1.17.2, all was well. >> * Next, I tried to run piped_demo.pl (since a grep of the examples >> showed that this one covers SVG, which is my particular interest.) >> Initially, this produced the following error: > fixed ... there must be a \ before a colon which is to be printed > ... or rather \\ in this case. I still got an error. This is because of the colons in the output of localtime(time()). Here is a patch for that: =============================================================== 72a73,74 > my $time = localtime(time()); > $time =~ s/:/\\:/g; 91c93 < "COMMENT:'Graph created on\\: ".localtime(time())."\\c'"; --- > "COMMENT:'Graph created on\\: $time\\c'"; 110a113,114 > my $time = localtime(time()); > $time =~ s/:/\\:/g; 129c133 < "COMMENT:'Graph created on\\: ".localtime(time())."\\c'"; --- > "COMMENT:'Graph created on\\: $time\\c'"; =============================================================== >> Can't find font '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/ariosor.ttf' > this has to be edited by hand currently ... rrd_graph.c #define > RRD_DEFAULT_FONT I tried editing rrd_graph.c. On Solaris, I have some fonts in /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType So, I tried to set RRD_DEFAULT_FONT to /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/CourierNew.ttf However, I got the same error. So, it appears as though the existence of the ttf file is not sufficient. I looked at the code in src/rrd_afm_data.c. This implied to me that I can only pick from Courier, Helvetica, Times However, I could not find any ttf files matching those names. At this point, I got a bit stuck :-) Probably this is a very simple problem - my knowledge of fonts/ttf/afm, etc. is minimal. Can you point me at what I should try next? >> * Error from Adobe SVG viewer. >> "not well formed: line 40, column 42" > hmm as I am not realy into svg yet I can't help with this one Is there a particular developer on the list whom I should ask about SVG support?
