Dear expert,
I am trying to understand which font is used by ROOT. I am using linux, so helvetica it is not installed. From the edit interface ROOT says it is using helvetica, but it is not, because helvetica is a sans-serif font, while the one I see has serif. See the attachment.
I tried also the example on TAttText, here the difference (look at the ‘1’):
I tried on a mac and the result is different from my linux, equal to the one here: root.cern.ch/root/html/TAttText.html
I tried on lxplus, and it works, so it seems to be a problem of my computer. Do you know how to install the proper font on linux (fedora)?
I think I’ve solved installing this package: corefonts.sourceforge.net/
Can you add a warning in case the font is not found?
ROOT comes with TTF fonts.root-config --etcdir/system.rootrc” and check the settings:. .Root.TTFontPath: /full/path/to/the/ROOT/subdirectory/with/TTF/fonts

Thank you. In /usr/share/root/rootrc I have
# Path where to look for TrueType fonts.
Unix.*.Root.UseTTFonts: true
*.*.Root.TTFontPath: /usr/share/root/fontsbut I have no /usr/share/root/fonts directory. I have installed ROOT from the fedora repository updates.
By the way I think the important thing is to have a warning when ROOT doesn’t find the proper font.
Can it be that that ROOT is “split” into multiple packages in Fedora (that’s the case in Ubuntu) -> and so, maybe you need to install some “optional” package.
