Hello,
Thanks for your reply. I need to ship the fontconfig library, fonts.conf
file and font files with my application. I want to avoid the requirement
of modification to any of the files by the recipient of my application.
He sets an environment variable and uses this env variable to run my
application. So I want to mention the location of font files in
fonts.conf file using this env variable. So this way he will not have to
do anything but at that same time he will be able to use fontcong for
all text display in my application.
Please help me in using this env variable in fonts.conf file to specify
the location of font files.
The code does not presently support the use of arbitrary environment
variables and I'm not sure if there might be any security implications
from doing so.
However, if you want your shipped copy of fontconfig to use an
environment variable, then you can write a quick and dirty hack to, for
instance, FcConfigAddDir. Add something like the following lines:
if (strcmp(d, "$CUSTOM_FONT_DIR") == 0)
d = (FcChar8 *) getenv ("CUSTOM_FONT_DIR");
I think that'll work for your case.
