There is no text at all in the PNG. We got some text after manually
hacking the libfontconfig-1.dll
I thought this could give you a clue on the problem. Sorry that this
made some confusion instead.
Defining WINDOWSFONTDIR environment variable does not fix the problem.
Setting full access to everyone for the inkscape folder does not fix the
problem.
IIS asp is generally executed with user NETWORK SERVICE.
It seems that the text "WINDOWSFONTDIR" is harcoded in the dll i.e it
does not read the content of the environment variable but put this
string as is.
Regars,
Jean-Michel
