Hi!
I proposed some time ago that Pd flags could go to xterm style -asio +oss flags to add and remove options that PD would normally run on. This gives us a kind of override of options relative to the .pdsettings (bye bye .pdrc)
Hans, what if we could give folder_list a list of patterns:
[list /System/Library/Fonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/trutype/*/*.ttf < | [folder_list] #aka file/match
to give us a concatenated list of both those paths...
That would be really slick... :)

Mac OSX :
/System/Library/Fonts
But there ain't much fonts there. (about 1 .ttf that seems working)
Debian :
/usr/share/fonts/trutype/**misc-subdirs... /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TIF
If it was through a -fontpath option, a system-wide pdrc would be nice in /etc/pdrc, let say. Then, we would need a consistent way to override flags in users' .pdrc. (but, isn't the .pdrc deprecated yet ? ;-))
Anyhow, very good idea !

Ok, I guess this is worth a try,
So where are fonts located on most linux/OSX/windows/etc machines?
Anyone implimented a font searchpath thing as a PD patch?

I think it would be worth a little research to see how hard it would be to use the system path. I guess the tricky part would be know which platform you are on. Perhaps its time for a [uname] object.
do you mean [operating_system] in guess-where?
Why, look at that.... that's it exactly.
