Hi there, As you may know - in OO.o we use fontconfig primarily for building a list of font filenames to load, and to extract their metrics - so as to sync with the underlying OO.o. To do this, I just iterate over the System and Application font sets and for each FcPattern with an FC_FILE, I grok that if it looks like it has the right extension - horribly crude indeed. I'd rather like to expand this to include 'ttc' files since they are important to a number of users (it seems), but I understand this is somewhat more complex. Where is the best place to find out information on how fontconfig represents ttc files ? Thanks, Michael. -- michael@xxxxxxxxxx <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot
