On a new system, yet again.

prince -i index.php -o test.pdf
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 72: non-double matrix element
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 72: non-double matrix element
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 80: saw unknown, expected number
prince: error: no input documents to process

I just set up this virtual server. I hope I am not in trouble here.

Thanks,

This is the relevant error message:
prince: error: no input documents to process

The -i option (or --input) is only used to specify the document type, eg. -i html or -i xml. So you probably want:
prince -i html index.php -o test.pdf

Strange,

I saw those warnings and I got confused. I issued: prince index.php -o test.pdf and it produced the test.pdf file but it also hands for a little and then spews these errors:

prince index.php

Then I create this file:

<html>
<head><title>hdgdgdg</title></head>
<body>;ksdlksjdlksjdflksjdf</body>
</html>

Then I try to convert it to pdf and:

prince test.html
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 72: non-double matrix element
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 72: non-double matrix element
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 80: saw unknown, expected number
prince: internal error: no available fonts

We will try to install these infamous fonts and try this again.

Yes you will definitely need to install some fonts. :D

The errors for the first example are because Prince is assuming the input document is XML, when it actually isn't. Future versions of Prince will check more carefully for unrecognised file extensions, but in the meantime you can specify -i html when processing PHP files.
