Re: [XaraXtreme-dev] Text rendering status

Hi, Martin.

Yep. Spot on, thats the usual case on those platforms (Linux,  
Solaris, etc), but in the case of Mac OS X,

It becomes:, as with the proper convention on the Mac /Library/ 
Application Support/XaraLX/share/fonts

Or on some platforms /usr/local/share/<PACKAGE_NAME>/fonts and of  
course these paths should be added to your fonts.conf file etc. and  
you should be able to re-cache the users and the hosts font database  
by just typing at the cmd prompt:

"sudo fc-cache" and that should be it as far as I remember...

this could all be done by a shell script, to do this for the user, I  
know it can be done in OS X in the Installer pkg with a post install  
script.

Chris.

Following the examples of other packages (like OpenOffice or
StarOffice), they should go into a directory called
  /opt/<package name>/share/fonts/
i.e., something like
  /opt/XaraLX/share/fonts/

During installation this directory needs to be added to the global
configuration file. Maybe the package manager can do that. In case of
doubt, have a look at the OpenOffice or StarOffice installation
scripts.
