I don't know for you. But the ability to have a local encodings.dir to override the default one is useful to handle some wrong ttf fonts that wrongly claim to be in cp1251 i nther unicode table, while they are in fact in another completly different encoding. On the other side, if you ship only fonts with correct unicode tables there is no need for the encodings.dir -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.srtxg.easynet.be/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975 _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
