Description Andrew Savchenko 2017-10-19 17:19:46 MSK 
After lcdtest installation:

$ lcdtest
fatal error: can't open font

$ strace -e file lcdtest
[...]
open("/usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

As can be seen from the above, lcdtest tries to read from /usr/share/fonts/liberation, while fonts-ttf-liberation package puts it into /usr/share/fonts/ttf/liberation:

$ rpm -ql fonts-ttf-liberation | grep Mono-Regular
/usr/share/fonts/ttf/liberation/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf

lcdtest has hardcoded font path in the lcdtest.c:

lcdtest.c:745:
const char font_path [] = "/usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf";

This should be fixed. At the very least it should use correct path, preferably it should use some ttf font path finder.

(As a temporary workaround symlink liberation -> ttf/liberation in the /usr/share/fonts was created.)

$ strings /usr/bin/lcdtest | grep fonts | xargs ls -l
