That's a pretty serious drawback. If there's no way around this, we need to make sure composer labels are improved (and hopefully plug in the canvas label drawing engine to the composer labels). M On Sun, May 10, 2015 at 4:19 PM, Nyall Dawson nyall.daw...@gmail.com wrote: On 10 May 2015 at

Hi What about considering alternative packaging methods? For example making an equivalent of the windows standalone package for Linux. A long time ago I used to build QGIS and all its dependencies into a directory (e.g. /opt/qgis2.8) and then use a launcher script to update the library paths
