Re: shared font directory and font installation
Add
/usr/lib/fonts/
This shall be used in the same manner as /usr/share/fonts save that architecture
specific fonts shall be stored. Architecture neutral fonts must not go into
/usr/share
Search Order
Compliant font libraries should search both archives for fonts. The search order
is library speciic.
RATIONALE:
Some font systems perform faster with native formatted copies of a font so
it is desirable to use those in preference. Other font systems see no benefit
and those benefit from /usr/share being used first to get the same precise
revision as other machines on a network
Finally some font systems have versioning rules of their own.
