1 rrdtool (1.3.1-4) unstable; urgency=high
3 Starting with version 1.3, RRDtool uses libpango for handling text in
4 graphs. When specifying fonts (e.g. using the --font option of rrdgraph(1))
5 a Pango font description (e.g. "Times 20") has to be used instead of
6 specifying truetype font files as in version 1.2. See the rrdgraph(1)
7 manpage for details.
9 Also, Pango expects strings to be encoded in UTF-8. RRDtool tries to take
10 care of that but for it to work correctly the string's encoding has to match
11 the locale settings or has to be UTF-8 encoded already. E.g. this might be a
12 problem if rrdtool is called from a script whose encoding does not match the
13 local settings.
