Hi All, Perhaps this should be asked on the Dev list, but I think you guys monitor this list as well.
I was just curious as to how Fontmatrix manages fonts? Does it just copy fonts to a temp folder for the user and then run fc-cache or does it use some other functionality to accomplish the same thing? I need to do some more testing, but I tried loading up 768 OpenType fonts and Fontmatrix hangs up trying to activate them on Ubuntu Gutsy. Obviously that's a lot of fonts to handle and Extensis Suitcase has trouble activating that many fonts as well. Yet Linotype's Font Explorer X has no problems with them. I've since converted them to Postscript fonts using Fontforge and manually installed them to /usr/share/fonts/my_font_folder and ran fc-cache and that made them available to all the applications. I'm going to try the Postscript version of the fonts with Fontmatrix again and see if I get better results. I'll need Fontmatrix for temporarily adding customer supplied fonts when designing ads. Thanks for your input in advance...
