[SOLVED]Scummvm (GIT) can't load external themes on Ubuntu GNU/Linux

Post by vanfanel »

Hi there,

I have been using Scummvm for years now, and there's something really puzzling me today.

I just built latest Scummvm GIT for Ubuntu GNU/Linux (it's the first time I build it on this distro, after using it on Debian Stable for years without any problems), and it fails to can't load a theme other than the builtin one.
On the terminal I see this:
erika@teclast:~/scummvm$ ./scummvm
WARNING: SDL mixer output buffer size: 512 differs from desired: 1024!
WARNING: Couldn't load font 'helvb12.bdf'/'FreeSansBold.ttf'!

File <File Stream>, line 147:
<language id = '*' scalable_file = 'FreeSansBold.ttf'/>
</font>

Parser error: Error loading localized Font in theme engine.

WARNING: Failed to parse STX file 'scummmodern_gfx.stx'!
WARNING: Failed to load theme '/home/erika/scummvm/themes/scummmodern.zip'!
I have the themes in the directory pointed by the "themes" variable, and as you can see, the FreeSansBold.ttf is available in the system:

Code: Select all

erika@teclast:~/scummvm$ find /usr -name FreeSans*
/usr/share/vlc/skins2/fonts/FreeSansBold.ttf
/usr/share/vlc/skins2/fonts/FreeSans.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSansBoldOblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSansBold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSansOblique.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf
So, any idea on what's the problem here, please?

Ah well, it solved after rebooting the computer for no reason... closing this.
