Re: xfstt font database should be in /var

About not being able to write to the right directory, do you
all realize that the font directories can be INSIDE the cache
directory?

I keep my fonts on a CD, and just put symlinks thus:

[root@penguin] /usr/doc/xfstt# ls -l /usr/share/fonts/truetype
total 89
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           25 Nov  3 12:33 fixed -> /mnt/cdrom/truetype/fixed/
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           24 Nov  3 12:33 sans -> /mnt/cdrom/truetype/sans/
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           26 Nov  3 12:33 script -> /mnt/cdrom/truetype/script/
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           25 Nov  3 12:33 serif -> /mnt/cdrom/truetype/serif/
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        18556 Nov  3 12:55 ttinfo.dir
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root        69353 Nov  3 12:55 ttname.dir

I'd prefer that we stuck with the filesystem standard and left the
directory in /usr/share, personally.
