Comment 7 for bug 631088

Hi Olivier,

Your question made me think about something :
I have a dual boot, the windows partition is mounted under linux
Then to access to Windows fonts I simply have made an "ln -s" from Windows/Fonts/* directory into ~/.fonts followed by an fc-cache to update cached informations
Everything works with it, I can use these fonts within my desktop apparence so as into OOo

Just before writing this comment I put a real copy of a ttf font (the one I'm using in most of the elements of my current theme) into my ~/.fonts and then, surprise !
Evince menus are now readable
So it seems that pango is not able to follow symlinks.
Really annoying in my case because my homedir is mounted from an NFS share. I simply cannot think about copying 350Mo of fonts into my homedir.
