Quoth Christoph P. Kukulies on Mon, 5 August: : Which raises the question: Which is better policy for installing fonts : under X: : : 1) adding an arbitrary non-evident directory to the fontpath : : 2) creating another directory in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts : : 3) putting the fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc I like to keep application trees distinct, e.g. /apps/scitext/lib/X11/fonts, but I don't want to have to munge up my environment every time the application base changes, so I link all the leaves of /apps/{whatever} under /usr/local. X11 itself being a distinct application, with distinct upgrade/maintenance/build structures and policies, I prefer to keep the apps entirely unrelated to it by directory structure.
