You're running a chimera 1.3 release candiate. Upgrade to the actual release and it will work without editing the POV-ray input files. - Greg On Wed, 20 May 2009, Miguel Ortiz Lombardia wrote:

Hi,

I'm almost sure that this problem has been reported here... but couldn't find anything about it. When I try to ray-trace [Chimera 1.3 build 2572 (Darwin/aqua)] I consistently get this error:

File Context (5 lines): } object { text { ttf "verdana.ttf" "$" 0.01, 0 texture Parse Error: Cannot open font file.

It appears even if I have no labels on the image. I managed to solve the problem but only when I asked for the povray intermediate files not to be deleted and then manually edit them:

A) image.ini file:

I changed the line:

Library_Path="/Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share/fonts/"

to

Library_Path="/Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share/fonts/freefont/"

B) image.pov file:

All calls to verdana.ttf were changed to FreeSans.ttf

It would be great if you point me to an easier solution or if you could make such changes in the code.

Thanks!
