<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Well, that is probably related to a bug that was fixed in version 2.1.a3, the one related to ‘unnecessary re-initialization of font files’. Try it with COLA’s build of the latest version and see if that fixes it.

<div>I have just tried using the full path, however when plotting a grid full of values it stops using the font halfway up? e.g.</div>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">The ‘unable to open file’ message means exactly that: it can’t find “Vera.ttf”. Try using a full path in front of the filename. The Fontconfig error is message is harmless, but it comes from the library not GrADS so I can’t
suppress it.

<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have an annoying problem when I try defining a new font. I can draw strings without issue, however if I were to display a grid full of values with that font it would display this error message:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><b>Error: Unable to open font file "Vera.ttf"</b></div>
<div><b> Will use a default "sans-serif" font instead</b></div>
<div><b>Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file</b></div>
</div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div>I have tried numerous other fonts and the same problem occurs. I have also tried reinstalling OpenGrADS but have had no luck. Does anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it?</div>
<div><br>

<div>Thanks in advance.</div>
