I am trying to avoid answering all these issues on bitbucket so I'm copying
reportlab-users to give others a chance to weigh in.
I have no particular feeling about this particular entry. Since python doesn't
recognize the ~ as special just using that character would not work.
The question sould probably be re-phrased as can you do add
os.path.join(os.environ.get('HOME','/dev/null'),'.fonts') to one or more search
paths?
I'm not an expert at all the places where font paths can be specified;
presumably there might be FONTPATH environment variables as well.
