Install 'ttf-ubuntu-font-family' on clusters rendering SVG to PNG
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: wikipedia

Description:
Various SVG diagrams use fonts from the 'Ubuntu' typeface as the font in their labels. These are currently substituted for other fonts at the moment.

The Wikimedia instances on Wikipedia/Commons (eg. upload.wikimedia.org) that generate PNGs previews of the SVG files do not have these fonts installed.

This can likely be solved with a simple:

sudo apt-get install ttf-ubuntu-font-family

on the relevant clusters.

Not quite, but something like that puppetised.

Undone by https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rOPUP33b0f4f1308bd03d1422f34e23c0ac8794ab86bf because Ubuntu is non-free. Welp, there goes my fancy file (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Avermectins_skeletal.svg). Now to figure out why font fallback to monospace didn't work...
