I'm trying FastReport.Mono on Linux (CentOS 7) to see if I can make an app to generate reports from FastReport files. Example FastReport.Mono app seems to work, however there are problems with PDF export demo. I get the error message on attempt to export:
Could not find file "/root/.local/share/FastReport/font.list". File name: '/root/.local/share/FastReport/font.list'
The path /root/.local/share/FastReport/ exists, but there's indeed no requested file inside.
I have installed truetype fonts mentioned in FastReport.Mono readme (they went into usr\share\fonts\msttcore), it did not change anything.
Creating an empty font.list file brought this error message:
Enumeration has either not started or has already finished.
How do I resolve this problem and make PDF export work?
Could not find file "/root/.local/share/FastReport/font.list". File name: '/root/.local/share/FastReport/font.list'
BTW, you are working as root - this is not good for security. Anyway, you have to check following directory: "/usr/share/fonts/truetype". Does it exist and TrueType fonts are there? If not, then you can define shell variable FONTDIR with following command:
$ export FONTDIR="/path/to/truetype/fonts"
At the time of first export to PDF format the FastReport.Mono check fonts in this directory and build font.list file. If font.list file present in "$HOME/.local/share/FastReport/" directory, then software checks that information in this file is an actual.
How do I resolve this problem and make PDF export work?
These issues should be fixes in next build.
