Re: Finding Fonts

Ostrich Riders failed to work on Mint because of the hard-coded path to the font file. I asked on the FreeGameDev forum what is the best way to find a font file. In general the response was don't bother just include the font with your game. I know Fedora and other distributions don't like that. I decided to write up an article talking about changing Ostrich Riders to use fontconfig library. Hopefully it will encourage other developers to handle fonts in a more distribution friendly way. http://identicalsoftware.com/games/ostrichriders2
