In order to use installed ms-ttf font package [and AFAIU any font package
instatted through pkgsrc] in Linux emulation apps i need to add the following
line into /emul/linux/etc/fonts/fonts.conf:
---cut---
<dir>/usr/pkg/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
---cut---
Two obvious cases when i need it is Acroread7 or OpenOffice2-bin packages. Of
course sometimes i forget to add this fix and it takes some time for me to
recall what and where should be added.
IMHO it's a good idea to automatically add default pkgsrc fonts path into
suse_fontconfig so for example ms-ttf fonts are enabled by default in gtk2
based Linux packages without any additional hacks, what do you think?
