well, can we do this by default on may of the new PBIs ?<br>
<br>
maybe even copy the fonts from those PBIs to the system folder when not
already there. I think that it will increase the user experience A
LOT, as currently I am having very similar issues with fonts that do
not always show to everybody.<br>

Thats not the right link:

# cd /Programs/Firefox*/lib
<br>
# rm X11
<br>
# ln -s /PCBSD/local/lib/X11 X11
<br>
<br>
All the fonts are located in /PCBSD/local/lib/X11 on the system, you
have to link this into the PBIs lib/ directory
<br>
so that it "shares" / uses the same fonts directory.

I can't see how /PCBSD/local/etc/fonts connects to
/Programs/Firefox3.5.2/lib/X11/fonts
<br>
<br>
Don't I need a link from the latter to the former?
<br>
<br>
More confusing...

Ahh, ok solved this here.
<br>
<br>
You'll need to do this for all PBIs you want to use the system
fonts:
<br>
<br>
# cd /Programs/<PBI>/lib
<br>
# rm X11
<br>
# ln -s /PCBSD/local/lib/X11 X11
<br>
<br>
I did this here, and now my fonts in FF work perfectly. I'm
guessing you have same
<br>
issue with OO as well, the etc/fonts link doesn't seem to matter
in this case.
