In Ubuntu and Mint at least, it seems that x-ttcidfont-conf no longer does anything. My /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType folder is totally empty, even after a dpkg-reconfigure. /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType is already included in the Pd-extended search path by default for many years now... .hc _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
