Hello,
Considering you are running Ubuntu, Wine and also a VM of XP running on VMWare workstation as well as your main Ubuntu GNU/Linux system, how do you manage your fonts collection?
Firstly, is the .fonts hidden directory the only and or the best way to manage fonts under Linux? And why should this directory be hidden?
Anyway, I was thinking about symlinking from this dir to the wine_c/windows/fonts. As for the VM, I would use the sharing functionality of VMWare workstation to map ~/.fonts to C:/windows/fonts in the VM.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance!
