Hello,

if libfontconfig is patched to look for its configuration file(s) in the
app-bundle resources, shouldn't it work on MacOS X (so new it is missing
by default) too? Or is it impractical to write a configuration which is
applicable to all "not too Unixy"/just-user MacOS X systems of those versions?

If there is such a function on those MacOS X versions also, then it could be
easier than the configuration/patching-libfontconfig route too, since font
file location info shouldn't be needed (just a hunch, I'm no Apple licensee)?
