I'm having the problem with text not showing up as well in Ubuntu 13.10 (amd64 gnome3).
http://superuser.com/questions/334625/dotty-shows-all-labels-as-dots-period-instead-of-text seems to imply that it's an issue with the default font not being available, but I am still unable to determine what the default font is. I can however confirm that if the font is manually specified inside the .dot file, it is rendered correctly. For example I added "fontname=fixed" to various things and they each displayed correctly, while the untouched entries still displayed dots in stead of text. So it seems this problem would be fixed by one of the following: * correctly configure the default font for dotty somehow (I have no idea how to do this) * add a dependancy on whatever package provides the default font dotty requires (I have no idea what font this is) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1016777 Title: dotty missing labels and context menu is broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/graphviz/+bug/1016777/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
