[SOLVED] Problem with INCOMMENT and OUTCOMMENT

[madraven]

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Cacti and Weathermap, but loving what you can do with it!

I've created a map which is working fine, showing our switches and the traffic between them. I'm now trying to add the port number to the arrows as per http://www.network-weathermap.com/articles/walkthrough1

What’s handy is the fact that in the example the INCOMMENT and the OUTCOMMENT are vertical along the arrow. And can clearly be shown.

For some reason mine only come out horizontal to the arrow, often passing behind the arrow. As per the attached example.

It's entirely possible that I’ve missed something but for the life of me I can see what it could be!
I've try'd using COMMENTPOS and this works at moving the text up and down the arrow.. but it does not help.

I've just upgraded to 0.95b and this did not help either.

Any one got any ideas please??!!

That looks like one of the built-in GD fonts (1 thru 5). Your log is probably chock-full of warnings about using GD fonts and angled text together

You need to use FONTDEFINE to define a TrueType/FreeType font for any of the font-rotating features in weathermap to work (comments, angled bwlabels, angled labels).
