hi devs,
"vera.ttf" missing in Gem folder. To fix it, copy vera.ttf file into Gem folder. [text2d] and [text3d] also says this message. Is it a known bug?
thanks, jonghyun

thanks for the report.
however, i would say: it's known to be not a bug.
vera.ttf is just the default default font (if you want another default font, you can tell so during the configure-phase). you can also set the the default font via gem.conf (and iirc some envvars). and i assume that most patches will want another font anyhow...
apart from that: what exactly do you mean by "Gem folder"? how have you obtained this Gem folder? (downloaded and unzipped?, built Gem manually? built and *installed*? ...)

I mean the Gem folder is currently *installed* folder. For me it was: ~/pd-externals/Gem/vera.ttf

I did this:
$ mkdir ~/pd-externals ; mkdir ~/pd-externals/deken-plugin ; ## download deken-plugin.tcl from https://github.com/pure-data/deken $ cp deken-plugin.tcl ~/pd-externals/deken-plugin/deken-plugin.tcl
## restart Pd. And it says: deken-plugin.tcl (Pd externals search) in /home/ak/pd-externals/deken-plugin loaded. Platform detected: Linux-x86_64-64bit
That's it. Is it problematic?
best, jonghyun
Sorry I forgot the Gem folder. I'll say again.
1. $ mkdir ~/pd-externals ; mkdir ~/pd-externals/deken-plugin ; ## download deken-plugin.tcl from https://github.com/pure-data/deken $ cp deken-plugin.tcl ~/pd-externals/deken-plugin/deken-plugin.tcl
2. ## install Gem from SRC $ sudo apt-get build-dep gem $ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/pd-gem/gem $ cd gem $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install
3. ## copy Gem folder to ~/pd-externals/Gem $ cp -a /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/Gem ~/pd-externals/Gem
That's it. The old one, Gem from deken server was problematic using imagemagick, so I compiled myself.
Thanks, jonghyun

thanks.
for the record: you could do a user-only installation by running:
$ make install prefix=/tmp/Gem-foo pkglibdir=~/pd-externals/Gem
instead of "make install && cp -a ..."; this avoid having Gem installed two times (the more versions of the same library you have installed, the more likely it is that they will interfere with each other).

no it's not problematic.
just to be sure: are you saying that you installed Gem via deken?
my original question "how did you create ~/pd-externals/Gem/?" should have read "how did you put the files into ~/pd-externals/Gem/?"
i'm not so interested into who issued the "mkdir", but rather who/what installed a Gem.pd_linux that is looking for a vera.ttf but forgot to install the vera.ttf.

Agreed. It is not a bug, however, I think for newbies it's more compatible, if Gem has her default font file, or another default. I think the newbies want to have their default anyway and anyhow. Red warnings in the console seem to bad.
thanks, jonghyun

yes i agree (that's why i keep asking seemingly trivial questions).
for instance, when using the "gem" package that comes with you distribution, you might find that it finds the font just fine (even though there is no vera.ttf in the Gem folder).
