Well, my app Fonty Python, is all about herding arbitrary font files and then "installing" them by making links in ~/.fonts (and removing them by removing the links.) The idea has always been to introduce some element of font management to the scene - as well as the ability to view fonts that are not installed (i.e. under the control of fontconfig), just laying about in folders. So, I have the paths as part of the whole herding thing ;) \d _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
