No legends at all on graphs on 4.0.0

[Jason]

I've upgraded my test instance from 3.2.7 to 4.0.0 and all the graphs have no legends or any writing on them at all. This is on Centos 7. I think I'm on the default font. It was all fine prior to updating and I've just checked through and I have all prerequisite packages installed.

The DejaVu font is missing.

I had the same issue on Debian and installing "ttf-dejavu" fixed it.

The font in "fonts/" in the frontend is a symlink to the "../../fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf" file. If that does not exist it will not work

Yes, I'd tracked it down last night.
Firstly the DejaVuSans.ttf file wasn't copied into the fonts directory when I'd installed it and then in my defines.inc.php it had the font down as graphfont. I've never set that so not sure what happened, but now everything is working.

I'd just built my own rpms from the srpms on the zabbix website. The only change I make it is to tweak the config files more towards our setup so it's quicker to install.

I had the same issue with upgraded from 4.0.5 to 4.0.8. I found that the fonts directory has moved to assets/fonts and the symlink for graphfont.ttf was missing. ln -s /etc/alternatives/zabbix-frontend-font graphfont.ttf fixed it.

[root@zabbix fonts]# pwd

root@zabbix fonts]# ln -s /usr/share/zabbix/fonts/graphfont.ttf graphfont.ttf

did the trick for me!


Found with:

find / -name graphfont.ttf

Hello!

VERSION="16.04.5 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"

The fix

$grep 'FONTPATH' /usr/share/zabbix/include/defines.inc.php
define('ZBX_FONTPATH', realpath('assets/fonts')); // where to search for font (GD > 2.0.18)
$ls -alh /usr/share/zabbix/assets/fonts/
empty (no files) - here is the problem
$cp -vf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf /usr/share/zabbix/assets/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf
$cp -vf /etc/alternatives/zabbix-frontend-font /usr/share/zabbix/assets/fonts/graphfont.ttf
