Re: [PD] [PD-dev] including a font file with Pd-extended
I didn't have any time to check that on my work Mac, and also forgot to take the old Pismo with me. (I don't own a Mac) But i definitely have Bitstream fonts installed on the iMac and i installed X11 from the install DVD. It's then high likely that i got the Bitstream fonts installed from other Open Source Software like Inkscape or Gimp. (Don't remember what other Open Source Software i installed on that machine) But, what ever. The easiest way (for you and the users) could be what you mentioned. Maybe even with to aliases, for /Library/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts for the user to choose where to drag. .andre On Thu, 2007-03-29 at 19:15 -0400, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: I think that is only the X11 from Darwin Ports, the X11 from Apple does not include those fonts.

Re: [PD] [PD-dev] including a font file with Pd-extended
Hi, i got a new job as osx admin (among others) for a while now, and we are using a particular font as corporate design. so to ease my job for new osx clients, i made a .pkg that installs the fonts to /Library/Fonts. the fonts work rightaway without needing to restart or recache (just like windowsxp) if you dont want to install fonts to system library (eg. you dont want to use admin rights) you can allso install the fonts to ~/Library/Fonts but the coolest would be to be able to use the fonts from inside the pd dir, without touching any system configs or dirs. but i dont know if thats possible.
