Hi,
I'm also having trouble making freej recognize my truetype fonts.
When I run this script:
text = new TextLayer ();
add_layer(text);
//text.font(2);
text.print("Hello world");
it opens but the letters are just blocks, like alejo's problem earlier.
If I uncomment the text.font(2) call I get the following error:
[!] script error in basic.js
[!] txt_layer_font: argument 0 is not a string
[!] execution of script aborted
[!] Error closing audio stream
My ttf fonts are installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts
and /usr/share/fonts/truetype/windowsfonts/
so I have added these directories in the sourcecode (in
text_layer.cpp, txt_layer.cpp and tbt_layer.cpp) to make freej look
for the fonts there. I have done this earlier and it worked then, but
I have reainstalled ubuntu edgy, and this time freej just won't detect
my fonts.
I installed the msttcorefonts by $sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
the windowswonts were just copied to the directory, I then did
$ mkfontdir
$sudo fc-cache -f
to update the fonts-cache-1 files.
Any Ideas anyone?
