It leaves a: "fonts.cache-1" file in the directories where the user's fonts are installed. The problem is that something needs to know which user so that it can look in that user's directory. Perhaps it shouldn't be dependent on knowing which user, but it is currently configured that way. If you could configure it to look in the directory: "/home/*/.fonts" this would be good, but it is currently set up to look in: "$HOME/.fonts" so it needs to know which user. But, although the current version of Bash will correctly expand: "/home/*/.fonts", FontConfig will not. :-( So, something would still need to know the user and GhostScript doesn't have that information with CUPS. -- JRT Kde-cafe mailing list - [email protected] http://ofb.biz/lists/listinfo.cgi/kde-cafe DISCLAIMER: The views expressed on this mailinglist are the personal opinions of the author and do not represent OfB.biz: Open for Business, KDE or the author's employer.
