Font Path



Hi,
I'm trying to understand the gtk code. I've a question regarding font path.
What is the font path, gtk application is looking into when one open a font selection dialog.

This question arose, due to the fact that garnome ships with bitstream vera fonts, and when you install it, it goes into the installation directory ($PREFIX/share... etc)
But when opened a font selection dialog, it shows all the available fonts on the machine.

Also if i'm shipping a new application with a new font, and say, i've to ship this font also. where should i put that font. Also please let me know if i need to set any environment variables.

Surya
