FOR BOUNTY: "QFontEngine(Win) GetTextMetrics failed ()" error on 64-bit Windows
- by David Murdoch
I'll add a large bounty to this when Stack Overflow lets me.
I'm using wkhtmltopdf to convert HTML web pages to PDFs. This works perfectly on my 32-bit dev server [unfortunately, I can't ship my machine :-p ]. However, when I deploy to the web application's 64-bit server the following errors are displayed:
C:\>wkhtmltopdf http://www.google.com google.pdf
Loading pages (1/5)

QFontEngineWin: GetTextMetrics failed ()
QFontEngineWin: GetTextMetrics failed ()
// ...etc....
and the PDF is created and saved... just WITHOUT text. All form-fields, images, borders, tables, divs, spans, ps, etc are rendered accurately...just void of any text at all.
Server information:
Windows edition: Windows Server Standard Service Pack 2
Processor: Intel Xeon E5410 @ 2.33GHz 2.33 GHz
Memory: 8.00 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System
Can anyone give me a clue as to what is happening and how I can fix this?
Also, I wasn't sure what to tag/title this question with...so if you can think of better tags/title comment them or edit the question. :-)
