Issue/Introduction

 How to get SLA Trend Reports to generate charts.

 

Environment

Release : 12.1

Component : CA WORKLOAD AUTOMATION iDASH FOR CA 7

Cause

No fonts are configured on the iDash server machine.

Resolution

From the command line run fc-list to check if there are any fonts. If fc-list returns nothing then there is no font configured.

 

 If your system already has fonts configured, you can simulate it by:

       1. removing all fonts from /usr/share/fonts and ~/.fonts

            or just move the fonts out of this dir so you can copy it back later.

        2. execute fc-cache -v

        3. Run fc-list to verify that no font is configured.

 

To resolve the problem, simply install a font.

1) yum install fontconfig

2) cd ~

3) sudo wget https://github.com/google/fonts/archive/main.zip

4) unzip main.zip

5) cp -pr fonts-main/* ~/.fonts/

6) fc-cache -r
