Hi,

I continue to explore 2D/3D/video softwares for Irix … and since 2 weeks, I use PiranhaHD 3.4.1 - IT'S A GREAT COMPOSITING SOFTWARE ! (Works on my Octane 1x400Mhz / 2Gb Ram / V8)
The basics are easy to learn because it works like After Effects or Apple Motion ; and if you've got a Wacom tablet, the paint mode is really powerful and fun to use … But there's a shadow over this compositing paradise : the True Type opening error.
If you want to write a text, you have to create a RotoText FX ; and by clicking the "A" button in the bottom of the canvas, you can place the cursor where you want and starting typing your text … But, when I place the cursor on the canvas, I've got the following message in my winterm :

Code:

Error opening True Type file //.piranha/truetype/arial.ttf

But the file looks to be in the right place  : /usr/ifx/piranha/truetype/arial.ttf

In the PDF manual, they explain that True Type fonts are stored in /usr/IE/amazon/truetype/ , so I create a directory in the same location and I put a copy of arial.ttf in this one. But it don't change anything, the error is still the same.

So if it can't open a *.ttf file, do I have to install a special library to help Irix to recognize this kind of font ? Could freetype2 or fontconfig help me (none are not installed in my system) ?

EDIT : I made a mistake : freetype2 and fontconfig are installed in fact.
