Error

ErrorException in font_metrics.cls.php line 343: file_put_contents(C:\xampp\htdocs\careertag\storage\fonts/13350985545a9988387f8a573f409063.ttf): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Answer 1

Create fonts folder inside storage directory and make sure storage is writable by web server by running follwing command. This worked for me.

sudo chmod -R 777 storage

Above (777) can be dangerous, therefore to achieve it in a secure way, try the below commands.

sudo find storage -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; 
sudo find storage -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

Answer 2

Copy the 'fonts' directory of your theme form the location 'project-directory/public/themes/your-theme/path-to-fonts-directory' to the location 'project-directory/storage/fonts-directory' This works for me when I was hanged for long time.
