without corefonts installed, the rrdtool grapher will fail to generate usable graphs:

# sudo -u munin /usr/libexec/munin/munin-graph --cron

(process:12240): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common'

(process:12240): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'

The same problem after last update. It is solved after media-fonts/corefonts installation.

Comment 2 Konstantin V. Yarkov 2009-08-25 14:26:00 UTC

Probably it is a problem of media-libs/pango? Some info about solution of the same problem: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-786460-highlight-pango.html

Correct. Please read the elog at the end of the emerge, it says to emerge some fonts...

%% ebuild /usr/portage/net-analyzer/rrdtool/rrdtool-1.3.8.ebuild postinst   
 * rrdtool dump 1.3 does emit completely legal xml. Basically this means that
 * it contains an xml header and a DOCTYPE definition. Unfortunately this
 * causes older versions of rrdtool restore to be unhappy.
 * 
 * To restore a new dump with an old rrdtool restore version, either remove
 * the xml header and the doctype by hand (both on the first line of the dump)
 * or use rrdtool dump --no-header.
 * 
 * Note: rrdtool-1.3.x doesn't have any default font bundled. Thus if you've
 * upgraded from rrdtool-1.2.x and don't have any font installed to make
 * lables visible, please, install some font, e.g. media-fonts/dejavu.
