Environment

Novell Vibe OnPrem 3
SLES11 servers

Situation

During installation of the Novell Vibe OnPrem 3 on SLES11 server, you are given a location of the trutype fonts:
 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
 
This was a correct location for SLES10 servers and not for SLES11. This can lead into various problems after the installation. One case, for instance, is a preview icon of uploaded document into a file folder. Due to invalid location specified the icon is empty. 

Resolution

Re-run the installation again with apply configuration changes option selected and in a step where you need to specify a location of the trutype fonts use browse buttom and navigate to:
 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype
 
alternatively verify where is indeed on your server a location of the truetype fonts file (*.ttf) location.
