Topic: font not found while file exists.

[tropicalview]

Dear all.

I have a font problem
by installing JPGRAPH you need some fonts.
they should be located in :

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype.


after a lot of *** i got them there like told me to in http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/

still the program does not work so i tried to access they're documentation and found:
http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/jpgraphfaq.php#F3.6

this script tells you how you can check if you have access to that file.
the result of that is:
FAIL: Can not read font file "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf"."
(http://200.6.59.132/fonttest.php)

does anybody know why??

Your error indicates that the file IS found but "can't be read" and this is to be expected.

PHP is only allowed to access files within the ibay itself unless you tell it otherwise.

You probably need to set a PHPBaseDir.  Start by reading this:

Ok,

I just moved the fonts into the www directory and it works.
