[opensuse] Munin For 10.3 From Packman: Font Mix-Up

11 Nov 2007

      Hi,

I'm not sure where to report what might be a packaging error in a 
package I installed from Packman, but I'll start here.

Yesterday I installed the Munin package from Packman on my 10.3 system:

% rpm -qa |egrep -i munin
munin-node-1.2.5-0.pm.1
munin-1.2.5-0.pm.1

Once it was configured, up and running, I noticed that none of the 
graphs had headings and there were many diagnostics of this form in the 
munin-graph:

Nov 10 07:25:05 - Unable to graph
  /var/lib/munin/packman-bs/packman-bs-open_inodes-max-g.rrd:
  failed to load /usr/share/fonts/truetype/DejaVuSansMono.ttf

It turns out that the DejaVu font _is_ installed 
in /usr/sahre/fonts/truetype, but the names are differently structured:

% cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype
% ls -1 !$
ls -1 *Deja*Mono*
DejaVuMonoSansBoldOblique.ttf
DejaVuMonoSansBold.ttf
DejaVuMonoSansOblique.ttf
DejaVuMonoSans.ttf

Note that the Deja Vu Sans Mono font file is not "DejaVuSansMono.ttf" 
but rather "DejaVuMonoSans.ttf".

Simply linking DejaVuMonoSans.ttf to DejaVuSansMono.ttf:

% ln DejaVuMonoSans.ttf DejaVuSansMono.ttf

... eliminates the diagnostics in the Munin log and causes the graphs to 
have their headers (once one waits long enough for them to be 
regenerated, which takes progressively longer for the graphs that show 
longer time-scales).

Interestingly enough, the Munin package (munin-1.2.5-0.pm.1) includes 
its own copy of one TrueType font:

% rpm -ql munin |egrep ttf
/usr/share/munin/VeraMono.ttf

This one _is_ present in my /usr/share/fonts/truetype directory and they 
are byte-for-byte identical.
