Yes :-) Although I would prefere if there was no need for a workaround. It would be OK if I could access autoTexts from files that are not within the path for autotexts. > We think about the possibility to extend the package manager to deploy > even more things like templates, autotext, but that it is still open.

I'm thinking of special purpose fonts that are not helpful in any other context than in combination with the package/macro. Furthermore the user might not have the necessary privileges to install a font system-wide. (this is not a problem for linux, on the other hand I don't know whether it is possible on windows to access fonts not in the global fonts-directory).. > [...] ciao Christian -- NP: Kid Rock - Welcome 2 The Party (Ode 2 The Old School) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
