That's pretty much what Xft does -- you *can* build a system-wide cache file in each font directory, but if you don't bother, Xft will manage with a per-user cache file in each home directory. So, with Xft, it really can be as simple as dropping fonts in a directory. As the font configuration moves out of Xft and into a separate library, it might eventually be reasonable to consider switching the core server to using that mechanism so that a single font configuration can be truely shared by all font consumers. We would get better XLFD matching for free, too :-) Keith Packard XFree86 Core Team SuSE, Inc. _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
