I've been trying (and failing) to select the Roboto font for the text overlay in the pipeline:<p>
<i>gst-launch multifilesrc location="start/blank/frame%03d.png" index=1 caps="image/png,framerate=\(fraction\)30/1" ! pngdec ! queue ! ffmpegcolorspace ! videorate ! textoverlay text="Hello out there" font-desc="Roboto 40" ! x264enc ! mp4mux ! filesink location="initial-advert.mp4"</i><p>
But all it seems to use is the system sans serif font.<p>
<i>fc-list</i> shows that Roboto and all its variant TTF files are installed, but nothing I do seems to let me use it with gstreamer.<p>
Can anyone offer pointers?<p>
I'm running on 14.04 Ubuntu, and <a href="http://askubuntu.com/questions/660730/how-do-i-install-fonts-for-use-in-the-font-desc-parameter-of-textoverlay-in" target="_top" rel="nofollow" link="external">this is a repeat of a AskUbuntu question.</a>
