where put font forge docs?
I’ve installed the port fontforge @20120731_2. Now I want the Help to call local help files. Following instructions at http://fontforge.org/source-build.html#Documentation, I put the downloaded, unarchived documentation at /usr/local/share/doc/fontforge. But still, after starting fontforge from Terminal and using either the Fn F1 key or the Help Help menu item in fontforge, I get the on-line documentation from fontforge.org instead. How fix? --- Murray Eisenbergmurrayeisenb...@gmail.com 503 King Farm Blvd #101 Home (240)-246-7240 Rockville, MD 20850-6667Mobile (413)-427-5334 ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

Re: where put font forge docs?
I suspected it would be somewhere in /opt/local. Thanks! Looking further, I see in the fontforge app’s File Preferences menu item window an entry for HelpDir that’s set to default, in fact, to: /opt/local/share/fontforge/doc/fontforge So that’s where I unarchived the docs, and now I do get the locally-installed files. Evidently /opt/local/share/doc/fontforge would work, too, provided one changes the HelpDir preference. I guess it’s “tidy” to keep the docs within /opt/local/share/fontforge, but what will happen on a version upgrade? will they be left unaffected (I would presume)?

MacPorts will not touch files it did not put there, so they should remain unaffected. However, it seems messy for you to have to install the documentation manually. We should create a port to install it for you. ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
