[PD-dev] [PD] including a font file with Pd-extended & bdiag~ not compiling

[Luigi Rensinghoff]

ola too....

who said pidip does evil things ;-) It sounds like a pet.

no, i just meant font issue in general.......

I wonder how this step - taken from the OS-X note on installing pidip  
could be integrated into the build-system
------------------------------------------------------------

4. install the fonts on your system :

sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
sudo cp /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/fonts/* /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ 
fonts/TTF
-------------------------------------------------

i dont want to hack anything, unfortunately i cant ,-)

see you
