Hi,

whatever I do, impressive cannot find the OSD fonts and always complains:
	Could not open OSD font file, disabling OSD.
The documentation is a bit vague on what to provide to the --font argument,
I tried
	--font /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf
and
	--font truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf
and (after copying it into the dir of the presentation)
	--font `pwd`/presentation/Vera.pdf
all without success.

strace -trace=all it shows that it actually stats the right file, but
somehow does not load it.

Any idea what this could be?


Thanks

Norbert

Dear Martin

There is some VERY aged issue I forgot to run by you -- could you have a
look please?

Hi!
unlikely, given all the things you tried), or PIL doesn't accept it. To
get a more comprehensive error message, try the following:

If that doesn't throw an error, I'm out of ideas :(
