Please state clearly which version of pango dejavu doesn't work with which versions of net-analyzer/rrdtool and net-analyzer/smokeping and munin. net-analyzer/smokeping (Version 2.2.4) and other rrdtool (Version 1.3.8) based software doesnt work correctly without installing the actual version of pango and dejavu Thanks for this addition, but we need two separate bugs for each package. You can refer to this one. I renamed this bug to only address rddtool and assign it to maintainer. If you can, please provide more information what actually happens if those packages aren't installed. rrdtool-2.24 does not exists in the tree. I guess that you are talking about rddtool-3.x. This version really uses pango and requires some font to be installed on the system and that's what you've been told after installing rrdtool: ewarn "Note: rrdtool-1.3.x doesn't have any default font bundled. Thus if you've" ewarn "upgraded from rrdtool-1.2.x and don't have any font installed to make" ewarn "lables visible, please, install some font, e.g. media-fonts/dejavu." Just to clarify. I'm not going to add any font as a dependency since I don't see any difference to desktop applications here, which don't depend on any font although it's impossible to use them without some nice fonts installed.

There are a number of fonts that will work. corefonts, dejavu, liberation-fonts, the list continues... *** Bug 290753 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #7) > Jeroen, No reason to re-open.

I changed the summary to net-analyzer/smokeping instead of rrdtool. smokeping doesnt work without a font, so there should one default. Dominik don't reopen this bug report. You are supposed to read elog messages and if you don't you are on your own. *** Bug 327533 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I think #4 is not enough to not to add dejavu as RDEPEND, because desktop applications depends on some other packages which depends on some fonts, so this is totally wrong argument. If you install desktop application, you implicite have some desktop environment, what is depends on some fonts. But, rrdtool is not a desktop application, so you may not have installed desktop environment (e.g. on servers). And because nor cairo/pango, nor rrdtool doesn't depends on fonts, the rrdtool willn't working correctly after installation. |
