[rrd-users] Re: RRD & Fonts

[David Kuder]

A great sage once said computers count: "zero", "one", "many".
A large number of design descisions boil down to the same
division.  Currently RRD does "one".  Tobias is talking about
the many case.  Conceivably the zero case might be useful
alternative to the many case.  If it was possible to do no
labels on the graph and wrap the graph in reasonable HTML
to do the labeling there might not be a need to support
every font on the face of the earth.

Sans serif (Helvetica or Arial) and a choice of 2 or 3 point sizes
and to bold or not would do it - with the idea of precise graphs
in mind - I'm not after oodles of frilly fonts.
Bet that doesn't make matters any simpler though.

Thx.
