Getting RunRev to 'see' fonts in non-standard places.
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2010 10:29 am
On Ubuntu (and, I assume, all Debian derivatives) one can put fonts in all sorts of places where MOST applications will see them.
The most obvious places is in an invisible folder called .fonts inside the user's Home folder.
However RunRev does not 'see' these fonts.
Nor does it 'see' fonts stored in /usr/share/fonts or subordinate folders.
This is a real show-stopper for people (like myself) who wish to deliver a Linux standalone that depends on a bespoke font.
End-users (who may not have ROOT access, or the necessary know-how to install fonts elsewhere than the HOME folder) should be able
to install their own fonts (or those provided with RR standalones) which RunRev or standalones can register.
