[Bug 1016777] Re: dotty missing labels and context menu is broken

[tommy]

I'm having the problem with text not showing up as well in Ubuntu 13.10
(amd64 gnome3).

http://superuser.com/questions/334625/dotty-shows-all-labels-as-dots-period-instead-of-text
seems to imply that it's an issue with the default font not being available, but I am still unable to determine what the default font is.

I can however confirm that if the font is manually specified inside the
.dot file, it is rendered correctly. For example I added
"fontname=fixed" to various things and they each displayed correctly,
while the untouched entries still displayed dots in stead of text.

So it seems this problem would be fixed by one of the following:

* correctly configure the default font for dotty somehow (I have no idea how to do this)
* add a dependancy on whatever package provides the default font dotty requires (I have no idea what font this is)

Title:
  dotty missing labels and context menu is broken

Status in “graphviz” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Dotty on Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't really work.

  Load a dot graph in dotty (for example, "dotty example.dot" using the
  attached graph, taken from the Graphviz homepage).  There are two
  problems:

  1)  The text labels are not drawn, they just show up as dots.
  2)  The right-click menu doesn't work.  It shows up and entries are highlighted as you hover over them, but nothing happens when you select them.

  This is with graphviz 2.26.3-10ubuntu1 on Precise.
