Yes. Actually QuesoGLC does all the Fontconfig settings behind the scenes for you. You just call glcAppendCatalog() and that is all. No need to modify the Fontconfig config files, you can keep the default ones. > In that case it sounds like a viable option to refrain from using the new > CUSTOMFONTDIR feature in fontconfig (added recently to provide a solution for > our problem) and switching to interfacing with GLC only (aka not shiping > non-default fontconfig config files). > Of course only if glcAppend...() does not have any drawbacks compared to the > current method. The only drawback that I can think of is what I told you in my initial e-mail : QuesoGLC will scan the directory each time Warzone is launched. This may be unnoticeable if there are only a few files in the directory (which should be the case for Warzone's fonts directory).
