After updating to 1.36 log spams
Code: Select all
Invalid font location: /usr/share/zoneminder/www/fonts/default.zmfnt
then i just wget default.zmfnt from github into this folder. Now log spams "Invalid font file". But fonts on web page looks ok, didn't see any occurrences of broken font on web pages.
Tried to turn on verbose logging, but no additional info was printed. What can i do with that?

Check FONT_FILE_LOCATION in config.
Make sure the font file is there.
Mine is /usr/share/zoneminder/fonts/ ,so slightly different.

Thanks, found default.zmfnt at share/zoneminder/fonts/, changed FONT_FILE_LOCATION from zoneminder/www/fonts to just zoneminder/fonts, now it works. But something wrong with this github font...

It's probably the method you used to acquire the file from GitHub. You likely grabbed a web page.

Of course it's a file. It's a question of what it contains.
Run the file command on it and see what it reports.
Code: Select all
file /usr/share/zoneminder/fonts/default.zmfnt

Thanks for the tip. Fixed it for me. My location is now "/usr/share/zoneminder/www/fonts/default.zmfnt". (This happened after I've updated from Debian11 to Debian12)
