    I did this on CentOS. It looks like the PEAR::Image_Graph doesn't use the OS's default font cache.

    I had to copy a font file to the Pear folder and edit a config file.

    I created a "Fonts" folder in /usr/share/pear/Image/Canvas/

    A copied a font file from /usr/share/fonts to the new Fonts folder

    $ cp /usr/share/fonts/dejavu-lgc/DejaVuLGCSerif.ttf /usr/share/pear/Image/Canvas/Fonts/

    I then had to edit base_conf.php, I changed the $graph_font_name value to DejaVuLGCSerif.ttf

  3. The above didn't work for me in Ubuntu (12.04.4). I found information here.

    Basically I linked where my fonts were

    /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu

    to where PEAR expected them.

    sudo ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu /usr/share/php/Image/Canvas/Fonts
