[Python-modules-team] Bug#805473: text.Text misses some unspecified font

[Enrico Zini]

Package: python-fabulous
Version: 0.1.5+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

thank you for packaging fabulous.

I was trying out its examples from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fabulous
and I got an exception mentioning some unspecified font:

  $ python
  Python 2.7.10+ (default, Oct 10 2015, 09:11:24) 
  [GCC 5.2.1 20151028] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> from fabulous import text
  >>> print text.Text("Fabulous", color='#0099ff', shadow=True)
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fabulous/text.py", line 105, in __init__
      self.font = ImageFont.truetype(resolve_font(font), fsize)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/fabulous/text.py", line 162, in resolve_font
      raise FontNotFound("Can't find %r :'(  Try adding it to ~/.fonts")
  fabulous.text.FontNotFound: Can't find %r :'(  Try adding it to ~/.fonts

I kind of stopped at this point.

Thank you,

Enrico
