[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52150] all plot functions throw errors when built with --without-fontconfig

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #52150 (project octave):

Sorry, the simple "hg add fontfiles" followed by "hg export -o patchname" did
not include the files in the patch. only the following:


diff -r e250aeab3c85 -r 8aa94b7dda80 etc/fonts/FreeSans.ttf
Binary file etc/fonts/FreeSans.ttf has changed
diff -r e250aeab3c85 -r 8aa94b7dda80 etc/fonts/FreeSansBold.ttf
Binary file etc/fonts/FreeSansBold.ttf has changed
diff -r e250aeab3c85 -r 8aa94b7dda80 etc/fonts/FreeSansBoldOblique.ttf
Binary file etc/fonts/FreeSansBoldOblique.ttf has changed
diff -r e250aeab3c85 -r 8aa94b7dda80 etc/fonts/FreeSansOblique.ttf
Binary file etc/fonts/FreeSansOblique.ttf has changed
diff -r e250aeab3c85 -r 8aa94b7dda80 libinterp/corefcn/ft-text-renderer.cc
...


I tried to add the "-a" switch and the files where somewhat added but probably
messed up because they are then treated as text (as the doc says).

What is the proper way to export a patch with binary data and should we
include those binary files in version control?

>> No problem, I'll look at the missing pieces here for how to distribute and
install the font files and what the default should be when OCTAVE_FONT_DIR is
not set.

Thanks. I looked again at adding "octave::config::font_dir ()" in toplev.h as
is done for info_dir but got lost again.
