Font size issue after upgrading to 0.8.6i from 0.8.6h

Post by arminder »

I am facing a weird issue after upgrading to 0.8.6i from 0.8.6h. Earlier the traffic figures next to the Legends were all visible, but now somehow the font/font size has changed and I can no longer see the total in/out figures on the graphs. The total out rolls on to the next line though, but the total in is truncated. I had the font sizes set as 8 in the graph settings and graph width at 375, so I even tried changing the fonts to 6 and graph width to 500, but that doesn't seem to be of any help. Anything I'm missing, please show some light.

Cheers!!

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

I also had this issue though I suspect it is related to using RRDTool 1.2 instead of 1.0

The included image is not of the same host, but uses the same graph template.

It looks as if reducing the text size would make it all neat and fit inside the page again however it does not seem to obey the sizes set out in the settings menu.

When setting the size, make sure you pick a font file as well. The two are joined. If both do not exist, you get the default font size. Remember also that there are User and System font settings. If you have a user setting, it overrides the system setting.

Can you share what font file did you used and what was specified in the settings?

Cheers!!
