But will this safety net be used say in a fontconfig-enabled app if fontconfig finds no fonts in /usr/share ? (ie in 90% of FC apps) If not I don't see what the point of forcing every single user to check he got this failsafe installed. Especially considering the failsafe system has historically been brittle and broken for more years than I care to remember (a ttf dropped in /usr/share will "just work". Fixed needs lots of fragile black magic to exist at all) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
