Hi Stefan,

I'm the upstream developer of fswebcam.

I have just fixed this by enabling GD's fontconfig support. This means you can use more generic font names such as "arial" or "sans" and Fontconfig will choose the most appropriate font file for you.

http://github.com/fsphil/fswebcam/commit/05ea39c7e4ad3386c326171287bf7f9dd46d680e

I have also changed the default font to "sans:10". On Fedora this translates to DejaVuSans.ttf.

Thanks Philip for the fix.  As long as there is no new release of fswebcam I will add a patch for this to the package.
