Tiny letters despite font being installed

My skin uses FreeMonoBold.ttf:

skins/Images/skin.conf: top_label_font_path = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf

skins/Images/skin.conf: unit_label_font_path = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf

skins/Images/skin.conf: bottom_label_font_path = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf

skins/Images/skin.conf: axis_label_font_path = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf

skins/Images/skin.conf: rose_label_font_path = /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf

It's installed:

pi@muchtyweather:/home/weewx $ ls -l /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 300848 Jan 21 2019 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf

But I have miniscule letters in the graphs:

It was OK on the test Pi and I coped /home/weewx across preserving the permissions. Where have I gone wrong?

Currently it looks OK to me...

This is what your page looks like after you open it. Everything OK

But I still have one question:
How did you integrate the tabular weather data: "Current Weather", "Last 24 hours" etc.?
Are the live data also included there?

It healed up. I saw small letters, remembered to install the fonts and I'm not sure that was picked up until I restarted - I restarted the whole Pi.

It's a skin called "bootstrap", you can get it here: https://github.com/brewster76/fuzzy-archer/tree/liveCharts. To show live data, you need a working MQTT setup.

I have been using the "new" bootstrap skin for about 4 weeks now. When "Auchtermuchty Weather" asked a question about the character size, I saw that he had modified the skin to display current data in tabular form. Since I am also very interested in this type of display, I wanted to know from him how/what he has modified. Unfortunately, there was no answer from him.

You can look in the template "stats.html.tmpl", then you should get an idea of how it's done.

For instance, when you insert the following into the "station info" table in livegauges.html.tmpl:

[...]

<tr>

<td>$BootstrapLabels.history_tables.max_temp</td>
<td>$day.outTemp.max</td>
</tr>
