Font size is huge

Here's what I did to install/configure graphite et al.

Then going to 127.0.0.1:8081 in my browser gives me this:

The red blob in the middle there is the word "No Data" in red, but the font size is huge and the text overlaps itself. No idea what's going on here. Are there any other logs I can provide to help diagnose this issue?

Exact same symptoms here, on OS X 10.10.2, having followed nearly the same installation and configuration procedures. I didn't specify a version for Django, taking the default 1.7.7 version. I also had to brew install cairo py2cairo as documented in gist relaxdiego/graphite.md, as graphs weren't rendering initially.

Changing the font size to 1 pt:

I have the same issue, with the same environment. Any updates @atroschinetz-rmn @clhynfield ?

[calebmadrigal]

Same problem here. I followed these setup directions: https://gist.github.com/relaxdiego/7539911

[tonyghita]

FWIW that's also what I did @calebmadrigal

same problem

[ryanricard]

A solution in the discussion thread at the bottom of the gist (https://gist.github.com/relaxdiego/7539911) resolved this issue for me. Apparently the most recent version of Cairo has a bug.

If you are using Homebrew, unlink or uninstall Cairo. Then install an older version. Cairo 1.12.16 is working for me on Yosemite.

// unlink current installation of Cairo
$ brew unlink cairo

// install Cairo 1.12.16
$ brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/26d5775494b3535820c48442c23af44f72974880/Library/Formula/cairo.rb

I had the same issue (using the cairocffi bindings on OSX 10.9.5) and ryanricard's fix worked perfectly for me. But, does anyone have a link to the bug that this is working around? I'd like to keep an eye on that so I can upgrade cairo once it's fixed.
