OS System font folders WAS Re: [PD-dev] Re: pixelTANGO & pd-extended

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

This will give you the Fonts system folder on just about any Windows  
machine:

[symbol %SYSTEMROOT%/Fonts(
|
[folder_list]


On GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, its trickier because there are many  
possible font paths.  You can find fonts here on Mac OS X:

/System/Library/Fonts
/Library/Fonts


For X11, you can find them here:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts


.hc
