Public bug reported: Previously functional in Xenial on clean install, now broken on Focal clean install.
Setting a label that includes the dollar sign char $, pyxplot fails with an error about a font. Any text is fine, only when using the $ does it fail. set label 1 "\$" at 0,0 hal center ^this is the line in question. If I change to set label 1 "anything" at 0,0 hal center this works fine. Attaching tmp.plot (referenced below) for reproduction. Repro steps using multipass on my machine. First, xenial, working. $ multipass launch xenial -n pyxplot-x ; multipass shell pyxplot-x $ sudo apt update ; sudo apt -y dist-upgrade ; sudo apt -y install pyxplot #I copy the file tmp.plot into home directory. $ pyxplot -V tmp.plot > test.png ; ls -lh -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 11K Jan 6 14:46 test.png -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 237 Jan 6 14:46 tmp.plot Second, focal, not working. $ multipass launch focal -n pyxplot-f ; multipass shell pyxplot-f $ sudo apt update ; sudo apt -y dist-upgrade ; sudo apt -y install pyxplot #I copy the file tmp.plot into home directory. $ pyxplot -V tmp.plot > test.png ; ls -lh file 'tmp.plot':12: Warning: ignoring unhandled DVI special string papersize=614.295pt,794.96999pt file 'tmp.plot':12: Error: dviGetTfm: Cannot find pfa or pfb file for font tcss1000 -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 0 Jan 6 14:49 test.png -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 237 Jan 6 14:39 tmp.plot I have attempted to install further texlive libraries such as texlive- full, cm-super[-x11]; all to no avail. $ uname -a ; dpkg -l | grep pyxplot Linux pyxplot-f 5.4.0-59-generic #65-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 12:01:51 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ii pyxplot 0.9.2-11 amd64 data plotting program producing publication-quality output ii pyxplot-doc 0.9.2-11 all documentation for pyxplot data plotting program $ uname -a ; dpkg -l | grep pyxplot Linux pyxplot-x 4.4.0-198-generic #230-Ubuntu SMP Sat Nov 28 01:30:29 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ii pyxplot 0.9.2-6build1 amd64 data plotting program producing publication-quality output ii pyxplot-doc 0.9.2-6build1 all documentation for pyxplot data plotting program Hopefully this is enough to help get to the bottom of this. ** Affects: pyxplot (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "pyxplot file for reproduction" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1910445/+attachment/5449828/+files/tmp.plot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1910445 Title: Pyxplot fails when printing $ character To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pyxplot/+bug/1910445/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
