I am using PhantomJs 1.8.1 on Centos 6.3 to for automated ui tests. When a test fails, screenshots are saved to the file system.

My problem is that even though the screenshots are saved, they do not contain readable fonts.

So if the website reads like this:

Hello, World!

the screenshot of the site will look like this:

enter image description here

So, instead of the actual letters, it renders and saves little boxes.

The system is centos 6.3. Freetype and Fontconfig are also installed.

How could i go about fixing this?

Thx!

I had the same problem.

Installing the urw-fonts package solved it for me:

yum install urw-fonts
