I agree with Raimund on it. for default behavior, adding _current path_ to the path prefix to search wouldn't be a good idea as we usually don't add it to $PATH for security concerns. Though fontconfig tries to find something out from $FONTCONFIG_PATH if the directory is an relative path. so if you have <include>conf.d</include> in your fonts.conf and run something with FONTCONFIG_PATH=. may read the rules under ./conf.d. but I don't recommend to do so except for testing purpose. -- Akira TAGOH _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
