[Dot] Fontconfig build on Mac can't find Helvetica
Ported Issue from Mantis Original ID: 1069 Reported By: Ned Konz
SEVERITY: MINOR Submitted: 2006-02-27 20:46:50
OS: POWERPC-OSX-10.4
VERSION: 2.6
DESCRIPTION
Despite the existence of the Helvetica font on my system, I get complaints about missing URW type 1 fonts. I've seen the other bugs relating to Times-Roman (about which I also get complaints), but in this case the name matches exactly. If I specify Arial instead, I don't get the complaint.
neds_mini:~/jobs/pacificTechnologies/src/doxygen ned$ echo "digraph G {node [fontname=Helvetica]; a->b}" | dot -Tpng > xyz.png
Error: fontconfig: Didn't find expected font family. Perhaps URW Type 1 fonts need installing? : Helvetica
neds_mini:~/jobs/pacificTechnologies/src/doxygen ned$ fc-match -v Helvetica
