Earlier this week someone asked where to put fonts so his application can find them and got many different answers - I would have said "just install your application into /usr/local and everything will work", but it won't work on every distro without this patch. Installing into /usr is bad practice, and the suggestions that were given (install them into a custom directory and copy to ~/.fonts at runtime, call some fontconfig function that adds a custom search directory, ...) seem wasteful/ugly. > Jeremy C.
