I was thinking of using the uuid for all the font dirs in the runtime/app so that they never accidentally get confused with the similarly named directories on the host. If uuids are optional, there is no guarantees they will be set in the host /usr/share/fonts though, so flatpak can't rely on it for those and we need some kind of remapping configuration there. So, one thing that is a bit suboptimal in the current uuid handling is that each subdirectory has to have a .uuid. It would be nicer if just we could have /usr/share/fonts/.uuid, and the subdirectories of that could use that .uuid + md5(relative-path) as the key. Then what we're talking about is a single file rather than files all over the place. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
