Description of problem: When installing dia in a non-graphic environment (i.e.: for command line use in a mock environment), default "sans", "serif" and "monospace" fonts are missing. The context: A try to mock build a (private) rpm that needs dia to build the docs. The buildRequires are: BuildRequires: gettext BuildRequires: wxGTK-devel >= 2.6 BuildRequires: robodoc BuildRequires: dia BuildRequires: xmlto BuildRequires: zip BuildRequires: sed BuildRequires: autoconf automake libtool BuildRequires: java-devel After mocking, the build.log file shows: . . . dia --export=schematics_withdebugger.png --filter=png --nosplash ../Media/Dia/Schematics_withdebugger.dia dia --export=schematics_withoutdebugger.png --filter=png --nosplash ../Media/Dia/Schematics_withoutdebugger.dia cp ../Media/Screenshots/Breakpointstest.png ./ cp ../Media/Screenshots/StartScreen.png ./ cat genref.xml | sed "{ s/Client.to.Script\\/// } " | sed "{ s/Script.to.Client\\/// } " > reference.xml Error: Can't load font sans.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dia.x86_64 1:0.97-5.fc15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: If you need the source RPM, please just ask. Actual results: Black squares instead of text in png output Expected results: Text in png output Additional informations: My system runs F14 64-bit, but I mock for F16 64-bit. Probably the current "Requires" of the dia package brought the fonts in by transitive closure in previous Fedora versions. An explicit "Requires" would then be needed now. Thanks for considering it.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

This bug is not yet resolved in Fedora 18. Errors are now: (dia:22256): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin' (dia:22257): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin' (dia:22256): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common' And the texts on images appears as little black squares :-( This is very annoying when called in mock without graphics environment. Please do something (perhaps some Requires: in dia.spec file). Thanks.
