How to make SchoolTool recognize that liberation-fonts is already installed

Asked by Andi Sugandi

This happens when SchoolTool is running on non-Debian based distribution (like openSUSE).

When running 'make run' :

$ make run
bin/start-schooltool-instance instance
Reading configuration from /home/andi/Downloads/SchoolTool/schooltool/instance/schooltool.conf
Warning: font directory '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation' does not exist.
PDF support disabled.

Starting server in PID 2335.
serving on http://127.0.0.1:7080

Although I can access the site without problem but it's said that SchoolTool does not recognize 'liberation-fonts' is already in place:

$ rpm -ql liberation-fonts

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/LiberationSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/LiberationSerif-Italic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf

Maybe it happens because non-Debian based distribution has different standard font location?

Any work-around to solve the issue? and should I fill a bug?

I think it just requires a change in a configuration file. We'll get back to you.

Try changin in your /home/andi/Downloads/SchoolTool/schooltool/instance/schooltool.conf file:

reportlab_fontdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation

to

reportlab_fontdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype
