DirectFB broken in Trusty ?

[Jean-Marie Verdun]

Hi,

I am using a very basic application on top of directFB which is coming from an old oneiric installation which is calling
DFBCHECK (dfb->CreateFont (dfb, "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf", &font_dsc, &font));
But it is failing with
main.c <65>:
 (#) DirectFBError [dfb->CreateFont (dfb, "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf", &font_dsc, &font)]: No (suitable) implementation found!

I checked that the font file was there, and this is the case.

An strace shows

So it seems that all the relevant shared library are properly loaded to scan the font file.
Any idea ?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Daniel Richard G. (skunk)]

I've observed this CreateFont error as well. If I compile and install the DirectFB packages from Debian unstable (currently at 1.2.10.0-5.1), the problem goes away.

[Alex Murray (alexmurray)]

Manually installing the packages from precise (within trusty) seems to work.
