Maybe running cabextract on them would work (distribute exes and extract ttfs at build time)? Gentoo does it exactly this way. Anyway, I'm not sure whether it's okay with licensing. > Some other ideas: > - always pull fonts from a resources directory within test_shell, and > require people to fix symlinks from that directory themselves (can we > check in symlinks in svn?) It doesn't look like an advantage to me. I just made symlinks in /usr/share/fonts. Of course with symlink in the source directory you don't have to be root, but on a dev machine you probably are root. > - use a fontconfig file rather than the hard-coded list of paths and > let people override it Looks quite interesting. > - use a command-line flag for the paths to search for fonts? ugh, I > hope that's not the best option. Yeah, I also wouldn't like it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
