[rrd-users] Re: Fw: Changing default font on a Windows system

[ian.gray at okieurope.com]

Hi Peter, 
Aha! Thanks for that - at least I kn= ow why it's not working now! 

I can use the --font option (and have done successfully), but as I have
about500 graphs I don't *really* want to have to (a) modify each of those
config lines, and (b) add that much extra data to the batch file that runs.
That, after all, is the beauty of a "default"! 

Is there any way of getting either a simple config file that is read
dynamically, or else having someone point me to a "dummies guide to
compilingRRDTool etc for Windows"? 

Thanks! 

Ian

Hi Ian,

.h files are *only* read during compilation ( or your system would 
surely slow to a crawl! :D )

What's wrong with the --font option to rrdgraph?

mentions:
--font DEFAULT:0:/usr/lib/fonts/times.ttf
