11.2. PDF Reports
This section describes the readymade reports available in Trisul.
Installing librsvg2
Trisul requires the librsvg2 library in order to generate charts for PDF reports. This is not included in the installation package as it requires several megabytes of packages. You can however easily install it yourself.
# on ubuntu
sudo apt-get install librsvg2-bin
# on centos
yum install librsvg2-tools
If fonts on your charts are not displaying properly , you may also need to install the following package.
Install the ms-fonts package found on rpm.pbone.net
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/Kenzy:/packages/CentOS_7/noarch/ms-fonts-1.1-2.4.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh ms-fonts-1.1-2.4.noarch.rpm
