Hi Tom,

The fonts location on a target system won't change once the system is
installed, so you may choose between different options during install
time of your software.
I would handle this with sed on a template configuration file, replacing
e.g. __SYSTEM_FONTS__ with '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11' or '/usr/share'.
What could be wrong with this approach?
