Cannot find voice when running as server, but works fine with tts flag #44

I've recently discovered festival. It's an impressive project, and I've set it up to work with my Linux systems speech-dispatcher. Everything works as expected until I tried to use a new voice. I added the cmu_us_clb_arctic_clunits following the guide here. When running something like echo "This is a test." | festival --tts It works as expected. However, when I run festival as a server, and try to use spd-say I hear the default voice instead, and an error can be seen in the server log. SIOD: unknown voice cmu_us_clb_arctic_clunits. I tried reading through the source code to find a solution, but my lisp is not the greatest. Any suggestions on what might be going wrong here?

I should add, I'm using the version 2.5.0:release December 2017. This is the most recent package installed through apt.

Same issue here when attempting to load from speech-dispatcher. I want to use Okular with speechd but no luck connecting to festival this way sadly.

I found this solution online but it doesn't seem to work for me. Maybe I am doing it wrong?
