While I agree completely that the first is inelegant, that latter is the proper way to handle application-specific fonts. What you are shooting for is better handling of fonts bundled with apps, which is a different problem. Some apps want to use some fonts which are of no value to (most) other apps, or which have restrictive licensing which prohibits system-wide installation. That is what the app-specific support in fontconfig is for. Those fonts should go in ${prefix}/share/${app}/fonts if prefix is eg /usr or /usr/local, or ${prefix}/share/fonts if prefix has the app's name in it, such as /opt/${app}, /pkg/${app}, /usr/pkg/${app}, et cetera. OTOH, fonts which are simply bundled should go in a subdir of ${prefix}/share/fonts specific to the package, as per your proposal. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
