It seems like it would be flawed unless you got a canonical path for the directory anyway. keithp and I talked about implementing our own realpath() a while ago and didn't especially like the idea. I'll try to talk to him about it again sometime. I'll check about FcInitLoadConfig again, but I think that it can be made to add directories. It currently doesn't in part for globally cached directories, but that's a separate issue. > Maybe it is the best to implement portable version of realpath () in > fontconfig? I also think it would be really good to get the approach I started working properly, because that really *is* a canonical path to a font. chdir() won't give you a canonical path, it just gives you a path (e.g. when you have multiple mounts of a directory). pat _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
