[Interest] -platform -minimal does not render text

[Jason H]

Or more importantly, it is rendering characters as black boxes.

To back up, I have a headless server (AWS AMI). It generates PDFs using QPdfWriter. 

When on my desktop (Mint 17.1) I can render reports just fine without "-platform minimal". Then to test the server command line on my desktop I add "-platform minimal" on the command line and that's where I have a problem. Anything non-text is fine, but text is rendered as uniform solid black squares.

Thoughts? Do I need to install font? How do I troubleshoot this?


Thanks.
