Can't get Graph plugin to work...

[ernst67]

Hello all,

I'm using MantisBT on a shared hosting account. The version I'm using is 1.2.17
All works well, but I can't get the Graph plugin to work.

The server I'm using does not have truetype fonts installed, so In the plugin settings I have referred to the 'bundled' font settings. I still get an error though... "unable to read/find font".

When I look at the plugin setting I notice that it is pointing to a directory in the library that does not exist. Would that be the problem? I was trying to find the directory, but it's not in the install package, neither can I find what the contents should be....

Did you set $g_system_font_folder in config_inc.php?

This should be set to a directory (including trailing /) where you have installed ttf fonts.
Search your disk for file Arial.ttf to check if you have fonts on your system.

hi there atrol,

thank you for your quick response.
like I said; the server is a shared hosting server,
true type fonts are not installed on the server, and i do not have permission to install fonts myself.
that's why i would like to use the bundled library, but that was not installed when i installed mantis

oh, sorry, i'm now completely repeating myself. the question remains though...

"Bundled" is not a font setting, it's a setting of the graph library.
Both libraries use the same fonts.
Copy the fonts to any directory you want and set $g_system_font_folder to the directory (don't forget a trailing slash).

Well, ok,

- I created the directory library/jpgraph and copied arial.ttf in it.
- Set the plugin to work with arial
- set $g_system_font_folder = '/library/jpgraph/'

Still get: "unable to read/find font"



I copied the font from my windows PC. Does that have anything to do with it..? Would that normally work on a linux box?

Try

Code: Select all

$g_system_font_folder = 'library/jpgraph/'

Thank you Atrol!

I've made progress... Now I get a warning "Bug Graph" for 1 or 2 seconds, then the graph displays

Not sure what the initial warning text means... maybe I should install more fonts than Arial.ttf only?

Thanks again..
