[OSM-dev] Tirex Installation

[Gero Kriependorf]

Hello everybody,

now I have tirex (SVN latest) and mapnik (v2.0.2 out of ppa from mapnik
team) up and running. But rendering does still not work correctly.

Tiles without fonts are okay and rendered. But tiles with fonts I get
the following error:

I don't know what could be wrong. I checked the font things a thousand
times.

Rendering via "render" works without problems, using the same style.

Does anyone know if tirex needs something special? I tried every font
directory i can imagine and checked it twice with recursive on and off.

Greetings
Gero
