Eep!  John, it looks like you included the smaller locale fonts right in
Tux Paint.  I'm not sure this is wise. :)

Linux packagers, for example, might prefer to simply create symlinks to
existing TTFs in their distribution, rather than have duplicate TTF files
floating around.

What I was thinking you'd do is simply include a few of the 'locale' TTF
fonts when creating the Windows installer/ZIP releases.

e.g.:

  CVS:
    tuxpaint  ----------------->  {
    tuxpaint-config  ---------->  {
                                  { tuxpaint 0.9.14
  FTP:                            {   for windows
    hebrew font --------------->  {
    greek font ---------------->  {
    [other fonts]


  CVS:
    tuxpaint-stamps ----------->  { tux paint stamps for windows

  FTP:
    japanese font ------------->  { japanese font for windows

    chinese simplified font --->  { chinese simp. font for windows



And Ben would do this something like this for Debian:

  CVS:
    tuxpaint ----------------> { tuxpaint.deb

    tuxpaint-stamps ---------> { tuxpaint-stamps.deb

    tuxpaint-config ---------> { tuxpaint-config.deb

  FTP:
    hebrew font -------------> { N/A  (simply depend on an already-packaged
                               {       Hewbrew TTF from Debian, and make
                               {       'tuxpaint-hewbrew.deb' a dummy pkg
                               {       that symlinks Tux Paint 'el.ttf' to it

    [other fonts]                ( ditto )



Make sense?  Is the above Win32 'path' do-able easily with NIS?

-bill!
