As for a decision: AFAICS these fonts aren't intended for general usage (e.g. within X), so I've tried to understand how fontconfig should be used within TeX Live. In Fedora, for instance, the texlive font directories are not in fonts.conf: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/fontconfig.git/tree/fontconfig.spec#n66 and the texlive package doesn't include any references to conf.d or conf.avail: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/texlive.git/tree/texlive.spec However, Arch Linux's documentation actually addresses this clearly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/TeX_Live#Fonts and suggests a solution similar to yours by providing the file in conf.avail without automatically creating the symlink. The TeX Live manual further suggests that such a file may already included in xetex: https://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-350003.4.4 But I don't see such a file on my system, nor is it mentioned in Fedora's texlive.spec. Besides the location, though, the solution is the same. > then I guess one of the TeX Live packages should add a > suitable file to /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail, with a link to it in > /etc/fonts/conf.d.

Based on the above, and various mailing list discussions on the topic, I think we should provide that file but NOT the symlink, and document this in an appropriate place. -- Yaakov -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
