Description Stefan 2013-06-29 07:40:48 UTC 
Hi Dimitri,

I just upgraded from 1.8.3.1 to 1.8.4 and got the following message:

>>
Warning: doxygen no longer ships with the FreeSans font.
You may want to clear or change DOT_FONTPATH.
Otherwise you run the risk that the wrong font is being used for dot generated graphs.
<<

The DOT_FONTPATH variable was empty, so the real cause for this warning was that DOT_FONTNAME was still set to FreeSans.

I would change the sentence "You may want to clear or change DOT_FONTPATH." to "You may want to clear or change DOT_FONTNAME.", which was what I had to do to get rid of the warning.

Thanks in advance.

Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next GIT update.
Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2013-08-23 15:04:47 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.5. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant.
