I have graphs but no text

Post by caoboth »

HI all

Sorry to be a newbie and all but ive doen a search and couldnt find a resolution to my problem.

Ive got cacti 8.6f install on fedora core 3, i can get graph data to populate successfully however there no text on said graphs. Ive already checked the pathc to the rrdtool font folder and the DejaVuSansMono-Roman.ttf is there as it should be..

Anyone got any ideas ?

Cheers

Andy

P.s im usign the generic SNMP template.

First, make sure you have the correct version of rrdtool set in your cacti settings.

Second, make sure you have the full path to the font you want to use, not the directory.

And check the rights of the file, too.

hmm puzzling

Ive checked and ive got v1.2.10 (on settings set to 1.2)
Path is correct also and permissions look ok (will give it a reinstall and see if that works)


Cheers for advice
