Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi,
thank you for manits! It's really great stuff - download - install - run a very good experience.
However I found one things I could not figure out.
I am using mantis 1.1.0a2 and JPGraph and german language basically with no problems. Only in the charts the german umlaute are display as double characters, probably unicode?
How can I fix that?

Hi Josef,

we had similar Problems but managed to solve this by compiling libgd without JIS Support. Also make sure not to use the default Fonts. Use a TrueType Font instead.

Hi Gerd,

thanx for that hint. libdg sounds LINUX but I am WinXP with XAMPP. Actually I avoid to compile this type of things, as I suspect it would take me ages to get it done. And, having no proper german umlaute can be suvived without pain.

Hi Josef,

if you are on WinXP then it should be the Font issue. Make sure to use a TrueType Font (Arial or Tahoma or whatever). Umlauts should be displayed then. I don't recall the setting at the moment but it definitely is a config thing.

Edit:
our Settings are:
in config_inc.php:
in jpg-config.inc.php:

Hi Josef et all,

The 'vera' font does not exist on a standard default installation of windows xp or windows 2000.
You might have to specify a different font that is available on your windows system by default, like 'arial'.
Please note that additionally a font with the "bd" (for bold) postfix must exist as well, what actually does for arial (arialbd.ttf).

I've tested it and it works, thanks for the work around.

This is a bug that I have reported:

$g_graph_font = 'vera';

DEFINE("TTF_DIR",'C:\\Windows\\fonts\\');
DEFINE("MBTTF_DIR",'C:\\Windows\\fonts\\');

This worked fine for me after I downloaded the Vera Fonts from http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
