PDF disabled on Ubuntu 10.04

[Rena Willis]

Running on Ubuntu 10.04 Schooltool 2.0

PDF is disabled error when trying to print. Discovered that the following font file was missing from the install:

Ubuntu-RI.ttf

I first copied it to the ubuntu font family directory, no joy. Then copied it to the liberation font directory AND restarted schooltool. Not sure if the restart of schooltool or the copy to the liberation font family directory was what got it, but for sure the font is missing.

This was a clean install of both Ubuntu and Schooltool.

Try this:

edit /etc/schooltool/standard/schooltool.conf and ensure that reportlab_fontdir contains ubuntu-font-family, like this:

reportlab_fontdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation:/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family

and that the fonts are installed:

apt-get install fonts-ubuntu-font-family

This only affects Ubuntu 10.04, because the filename of that font is different. I have now added a patch that looks for correct file, and uploaded to the ppa:schooltool-owners/dev PPA.

To get Ubuntu font on 10.04, lucid-updates repository needs to be enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list

To install the font,

  apt-get install ttf-ubuntu-font-family

But you probably have it already, it was a bug in code.

This bug was fixed by upload to flourish ppa:

schooltool (1:2.1.0-0ubuntu1~lucid2) lucid; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/ubuntu-font.patch: add, italic font is named differently on
    lucid.
  * debian/patches/testbrowser.patch: remove, fixed upstream.
