Well, I suppose I could symlink the fonts into there; I'd like the font to be accessible to native MacOS programs like TextEdit and Pages as well. That said, /opt/local/etc/fonts/fonts.conf does have a comment that says ~/.fonts is a deprecated location, and I'd prefer not to have this break suddenly on me when I install a fontconfig update in 8 months, because I will undoubtedly have forgotten about this stuff in the interim. Interestingly, it appears that there's some daemon that's watching ~/Library/Fonts, because when I copied the .ttf files into that location, fonts.list and fonts.scale just automagically appeared. I did have to run mkfontdir by hand to generate fonts.dir, though. In any case, I figured out how to set the relevant environment variables at the right time on login, although it's a bit krufty, so I think I'm set. Thanks a bunch for your help! Richard
