Comment 19 for bug 670960

I am working on a solution right now that will display the installed fonts on the user's computer, and dynamically load the font with Blender. This was the original design goal, but I gave up on it due to technical issues. I'm back at it though, and hope to have a solution soon. I'll keep you posted.

The big problem I'm having comes down to the Font Selector dialog in GTK, which does not provide the file location of the TTF file. Blender could care less about the friendly font name, and only wants the TTF. So, I'm trying to figure out this puzzle. =)
