| A while back I did some changes around where fonts are searched and
installed. The purpose was to reduce the number of .ttf files installed by e16
packages and make it easier for distributions to substitute Vera[Bd].ttf (and
other theme fonts) with links to whichever font is currently preferred.
|
| So, yes, things work as you describe, and there has been a change here. Theme
fonts are only used for <theme>/ABOUT stuff.
| The font used in the e16 help pages should be in <datadir>/e16/fonts. Is that
a problem?.
No, it's not a problem at all. All I need to do in my environment
is just to copy a font used by the help viewer into the directory
you mentioned. I just tried the way described in "Fonts" section
of README-0.16.8:
1) "<font name>/<size>", e.g. "Vera/8".
In this case e16 must be able to find "Vera.ttf" in <theme dir>/ttfonts or
/usr/share/e16/fonts. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I just thought this could also be used for the help viewer.
| Btw., I'm not a huge fan of the e16 help pages in edox. I think it would be
better to ship it as html, and maybe even merge the old help stuff with
README-0.16.8.
Good idea!
| I think the primary purpose of edox is to allow viewing the "About this
theme" pages for all the existing e16 themes out there.
