No fonts found : fontconfig

Thu, 25/06/2009 - 13:13 by pariviere   Tags:

Using Redhat-based distribution for SSH remote display, can lead to such errors :

No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig
library is not correctly configured. You may need to
edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information
about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual
page and on http://fontconfig.org

 

The fix is pretty simple :

$ yum install dejavu-fonts

Ok, there's another note about this subject - Resize Xen image files - ; but this time, things gets complicated :

  • The filesystem is NTFS

Update to Drupal 6!

Fri, 28/03/2008 - 18:21 by pariviere   Tags:
With the recent release of Drupal 6, I felt myself in the obligation to migration the site. Here we are.

To be completely honest, there's still some issues. For exemple View and CCK modules are not fully ported to this new version but the essential content is online.

I've also update the theme for a more attractive one : Dreamy
