Seth--thanks for the helpful details. I appreciate the suggestions, but none quite fit my use case. It's really 2 users wanting to share the fonts--one owns them and the other has a symlink. If I put them in /usr/local/share/fonts/ then they don't get backed up and can't be modified. I think the simplest option for me is to use the extra 74 MB and make a copy for each user.
I understand the execution privileges issue if the font files are owned by another user, so you've convinced me that this is a valid security precaution. Do you agree, however, that it would be helpful to display a message for the user rather than empty space in their PDF? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448778 Title: Evince fails to display some fonts (some font thing failed) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1448778/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
