Fontmatrix

[Undertype-users] How does fotmatrix work?

komputes · 

I really like fontmatrix but I have a question about what happens (in
the back end) when I activate a font.

So lets say i have a new font called foo in
/home/me/stuff/fonts/bob.ttf. I point Fonmatrix to that path, and it
shows me the new font - yay! Then when I put a checkmark it
aliases/symlinks the font in ~/.fontmatrix. The part I don't understand
is how the system now knows about and can use this font without it being
installed in a valid font dir like ~/.fonts or /usr/share/fonts

I was told that for the details I'd have to ask pierre__marc, who is the
developer of the program.

If anyone on this ML can answer me, it would be appreciated.
