Shin-Ichi was kind enough to generate some 'noarch' RPMs for the five
add-on TrueType Fonts that Tux Paint needs to display some languages
(Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese and Korean, so far...)
I've put these up on SourceForge (and will link to them from the 'Fonts'
page soon).
I was wondering... should we have simple font installers and packages for
other OSes and platforms?
Right now we have the 'manual' install ("tar.gz" where you run "make install")
for Linux, RPMs for RedHat Linux, and EXEs for Windows...
Should we also have .tgz packages for Slackware? Installer apps for OS X?
Also note: I'll hopefully add a "--fontpath" (or similarly-named) option,
as per Ben Armstrong's suggestion, to allow distro packagers to take
advantage of their system's own TTF packages, rather than having to
re-package and waste space, or do some weird symbolic link fun...
(This may reduce the need for RPMs, though without apt-get as a standard,
having separate RPMs will definitely be useful to many ;^) )
