How can I make fontconfig look for the config files in the local directory?
After going through the entire mail thread again...
Don't you think, it might be a good idea to give fontconfig the option to
search in ./fontconfig/ first, before looking in PREFIX/etc or --sysconfdir?
Having objects make any assumptions about the location in the file
system they're stored in would be very uncommon on Unix. I. e. there is
no POSIX equivalent of Win32's GetModuleFileName.
That said, there are some (not 100% reliable) workarounds like
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2605427. The question is, should
fontconfig resort to these. I'd rather say not, it's not good style for
a portable general-purpose library.
However, maybe Akira will consider it as a non-default configuration
option if you send a patch :-)
