I suspect that whatever solution Maxim eventually commits, it will not
solve everyone's problems, especially if you have multiple directories
that you would like to support. The samples I posted are just that,
samples designed to solve my issue with having to edit unix.js on every
reinstall of Mozilla.
I hope that it provides a starting point for others to try to solve
their problems with the true type support. Please feel free to submit
suggestions to Maxim for ways to solve other problems, especially
multiple directories. I have no personal attachments to the code as
written and anyone who has suggestions for improvements, please submit
them to the list and/or Maxim. Of course, the ?= change is something
that maybe should have been in the original...
Does it hurt to always set truetype suport to true even if you specify
no directories? If so, maybe we could split the support into two
pieces. One would be to always patch unix.js to set true type support
to true, another to parse a list of directories containing truetype
fonts, say in PATH-format. Then a simple shell script could just append
the list of directories to unix.js without any special sed processing, e.g.,
#!/bin/sh
font=1
for i in $(echo ${WITH_TRUETYPE_PATH} | sed -e 's/:/ /g'); do
echo "pref(\"font.directory.truetype.$font\", \"$i\");" >>unix.js
font=$((font+1))
done
Of course, fitting the above loop into a Makefile would require fiddling
with quotes and $ and so on...plus, we would have to decide if we accept
the path value passed in or prepend or append the system default path
(e.g., /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType). Probably just use ?= to set
a default value.
