Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Windows & Android (& others?) FontConfig `fonts.conf` parsing

[Shin-ichi T. <dol...@wm...>]

Hi!

I had made it to load fonts stored in user's font directory on Windows.

See commit 365ee3ea20af489996e045f97ae2d874e43f5591

Then I think there is no more thing to be added so far.

Thanks
