Fonts do not render correctly
« on: April 14, 2004, 11:18:14 am »
Hello everyone. I have finally gotten Planeshift to build on my Slackware  machine, but now I\'m having a problem getting the fonts to render properly.  I think I\'ve heard of Slack experiencing oddities with true type fonts, but I\'m not sure.  Normally this wouldn\'t bother me too much, but its bad enough to where I am unable to read almost all of the text.  The problem is that the lines of text overlap one another; new lines need to be spaced a bit lower.   At first, the text wasn\'t there at all, so  I removed the .ttf font files from the /data/ttf/ directory, and now the text appears but the fonts don\'t display properly =/

This is what gets printed to the terminal:

niles@sleebosty:~/molblue/planeshift$ ./psclient -verbose

It repeats that last line over and over maybe a hundred times or more.

Heres my system info, for what its worth:
P4 1.5 GHz
256 MB rdram
nvidia geforce fx 5700 ultra w/ 128 MB
Slackware 9.1 linux kernel 2.4.22
freetype 2.1.5

Anyone have an idea?   I don\'t necesarily need to have the proper font...if I could somehow just fix the line spacing that would be good enough.  Thanks in advance :)

Well, it seems Slack will solve the problem. I\'ve upgraded to -current and the cvs version (compiled previously) starts very well. I could\'t login yet... :P

So, upgrade you Slack to -current (warning: may be still unstable)

Time of test: the last 48 hours (May 5-6 2004)
OS: Gentoo GNU/Linux with the 2.6.5 kernel
Processor: Pentium 4
RAM: 256M
Video Card: NVidia GeForce
Video Card Memory: ?
PS Client Version: 0.2.010-r1
OpenGL or Safe Mode: same results with both
Description of the bug: Fonts do not render at all.

I had exactly the same problem, Neelo5000, except nothing I do can even make the fonts _at all_. I tried moving the /opt/planeshift/data/ttf directory to no avail (and then moved it back, of course). I cannot seem to tell the client to look elsewhere for its fonts. Another Gentoo user experienced a similar problem, but, like you, he was able to make the fonts render, albeit incorrectly. Here is a link to the Gentoo forum, where I posted a request for help:

As of the time of this post, only one person has replied to my Gentoo forum post, and no one has found a solution.

In Slack 9.1, it seems the freetype2 libraries are outdated.  Try getting a newer version:

Good luck.
