Re: [Gimp-developer] blocking fonts enumeration

[1980_underground insiberia net]

Hm. I don't think I needed <acceptfont>. I was just getting the <glob> 
element wrong.

Here's what works on my current system:

<fontconfig>
    <selectfont>
        <rejectfont>
            <glob>/usr/share/fonts/*</glob>
        </rejectfont>
    </selectfont>
</fontconfig>

This empties all fonts except the ones in GIMP's own folder.

An odd thing is that even with using font manager, when a font is 
selected through it and subsequently displayed in the fonts tab, it 
automatically adds defaults like "Monospace Italic" and Sans Bold 
Italic". This isn't a big deal, but any ideas on how to block those as 
well?

I'm super happy about all this, thanks.

Oh, and here's where I got the correct glob element from:
