ola,
pidip doesn't do all these evil things, it just relies on imlib ( imlib_load_font ) to load the fonts, so you want to hack imlib?
ciao, sevy

Well, i think you guys will find a solution.
It makes me think of the "pidip" installation, which we will come to at a point, since it uses Fonts, too.
I just wanted to remind you, that that's a similar problem and maybe can be solved with this one.
hmm, i think (but don't know exactly) that pidip needs low-level access to the font, instead of relying onto system-fonts. it just happens that pidip searches the system-font paths to get its fonts.
it should be similar to the case of Gem (though Gem does not even attempt to access the system fonts); one could hack pidip (if it doesn't already do so) to additionally use pd's search paths to search for fonts.
i don't think that this is that simple with tcl/tk (but then: why not?), which probably relies on the system's font manager.
