I didn't have any time to check that on my work Mac, and also forgot to take the old Pismo with me. (I don't own a Mac)
But i definitely have Bitstream fonts installed on the iMac and i installed X11 from the install DVD. It's then high likely that i got the Bitstream fonts installed from other Open Source Software like Inkscape or Gimp. (Don't remember what other Open Source Software i installed on that machine) But, what ever. The easiest way (for you and the users) could be what you mentioned. Maybe even with to aliases, for /Library/Fonts and ~/Library/Fonts for the user to choose where to drag. .andre On Thu, 2007-03-29 at 19:15 -0400, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: > I think that is only the X11 from Darwin Ports, the X11 from Apple > does not include those fonts.
