[rrd-users] unreadable strings from RRDTools charts

[Alceu Rodrigues de Freitas Junior]

Hello Jacques,

Thank you! I was about to give up on that!

I'm copying to the list too, hope you don't mind... maybe this will help 
folks around in the future.

To get the fonts installed, one must select all the "x" sets during the 
setup (not sure if they are available after installing). Basically you 
uncheck the "games" set and install everything else.

After that, you will need to setup ports:

And then:

cd /usr/ports/print/freetype
make install
make clean
make clean=depends

Here is another reference (not sure why is not part of the official FAQ 
anymore):
