Hi,
i'm tring to use
d.text on grass-6.3.cvs builded from source on a mac osx
i'm tring to use it as described inthe help menu, but it fail to load the font:
GRASS 6.3.cvs (wgs):~ > d.text << EOF
> .C yellow
> .S 4
> .B 1
> This is a test of d.text
> EOF
WARNING: unable to open font map
'/Applications/GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/MacOS/fonts/.hmp': No such
file or directory
GRASS 6.3.cvs (wgs):~ >
while using a line like :
d.mon x0
d.text 'text=text to display' size=5 color=gray align=ll rotation=0 linespacing=1.25 path=/Applications/GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/MacOS/fonts/italiccs.hmp
nothing is displayed.
i tried again using interactive place text flag :
d.text -m 'text=text to display' size=5 color=gray align=ll rotation=0 linespacing=1.25 font=italics path=/Applications/GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/MacOS/fonts/italiccs.hmp
but while the menu :
Click!
Left: Place text here
Right: Quit
is corrected displayed,
in the window "Output - Gis.m"
i've the same message :
unable to open font map '/Applications/GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/MacOS/fonts/.hmp': No such file or directory
seems that it do not use a "name" for the font, but only the extension is passed to the command.
i'm missing something, like i need to set a font first ?
or it is a knowed problem?
instead of d.text, now i'm using d.text.freetype without problems (works really fine)
using as font the path to the x11 font (as described in the help).
