Font support #4

Open anujku opened 8 years ago

Have a look at this - https://http2pic.haschek.at/api.php?[OPTIONS]&url=http://www.loksatta.com/

It does not render all font correctly. I have added that site as an example but I am sure the font support will be required for many more websites..

Interesting this seems to be a general wkhtmltoimage problem. I have tried a few solutions mentioned on the internet but nothing worked so far. Will hopefully work once we switch to PhantomJS as rendering engine

Hello anujku. According to PhantomJS folks, this is fixed in 2.0 of PhantomJS. See https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/11569. Unfortunately, as of today they still don't have Linux-based binaries. If you have Linux, use the build procedure here: http://phantomjs.org/build.html.

Actually, I just built and installed PhantomJS 2.0 and it didn't work with that with the website you mentioned. I had to install the Mengal font on my system, and re-build the font cache and then it worked! http://www.ffonts.net/Mangal.font.download
