Maybe the Mac OS X .dmg should just include the font file and a link
to the Fonts install folder...

Hi,
i got a new job as osx admin (among others) for a while now, and we
are using a particular font as "corporate design". so to ease my job
for new osx clients, i made a .pkg that installs the fonts to /Library/Fonts. the fonts work rightaway without needing to restart or recache (just like windowsxp)if you dont want to install fonts to system library (eg. you dont want to use admin rights) you can allso install the fonts to ~/Library/ Fonts
but the coolest would be to be able to use the fonts from inside
the pd dir, without touching any system configs or dirs. but i dont know if thats possible. (like pdf uses embedded fonts, but i assume that pdf doesnt use the system font render system ?)cheers andre

Good point, Pd-extended is already using an installer on Windows, so it can just install the font in the proper location, %SYSTEMROOT% \Fonts
That leaves Mac OS X, which is tricky since it needs to be inside the Mac OS X .app package.

On Windows installing the font with a batch file would be trivial.
If you made some file "Install.bat" it could copy the font to the correct directory, and also run the registry script you currently
use, at the same time.~David

The last step in sorting the cross-platform font issue is finding a way of including the font file for the Windows and Mac OS X packages.
Anyone know how to make Tk look for fonts in a specific
directory?.hc
I don't think you can't do this but it's possible to put a
specific font into the X server fonts directory, and doing a font mapping like in this neat tcl-tk application: http://xstick.e-artisan.org/also you might be interested by this: http://wiki.tcl.tk/470
On Debian and Ubuntu, it'll be very easy to support since the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font is in the package system. I think
that font is also included in any GNOME install, so that covers most
GNU/ Linux users.The hard part is Windows and Mac OS X. We could require people to install the font seperately, but I'd rather have it just work
out of the box..hc

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson
