Description Thomas Capricelli 2015-12-16 11:25:24 UTC
When using it (typically from doxygen), mscgen outputs:
Error: gdoTextHeight: Could not set character size (GDFONTPATH=)

and produces no file.

It seems that the problem is that it tries to use "helvetica" font but gentoo only has "Helvetica", according to :

Reproducible: Always
