Help - ebook-convert / IOError

[Eric Hemmy]

Hi all,

I used ebook-convert for a long time now and I thank you very much for your nice job

But, I got trouble with ebook-convert when I run followed bye "Rue89.recipe" rue89.mobi.
Here's the error messages I get :

...
Creating MOBI Output...
67% Running MOBI Output plugin
Serializing resources...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ebook-convert", line 20, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/ImageFont.py", line 134, in __init__
self.font = core.getfont(file, size, index, encoding)
IOError: cannot open resource

As I cannot understand how to solve by myself, would you please help me ?
Do I need to update my python package (xxx.py files) ?
(It seems to be up to date, but ...)

ebook-convert (calibre 0.8.70) works well with "Liberation.recipe", but give me the same result with 'Le Monde.recipe".

Thanks for your help in advance,
Éric

Version 8.70

The current is 9.32

Is there a reason you are not running a more current version?
Don't rely on your 'Distribution' to be even close current.

Use the commandline supplied on the Linux download page

As you told me ;-)

Thanks again to you theducks
