[GRASS-dev] Re: [GRASS GIS] #908: No Font Definition File, windows xp

Hamish,
Many government organizations that use Windows are going to LUA,
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700846.aspx Least-privileged
User Account environments for most users.  Having a normal user need to do
anything as an administrator to run a program is almost a show-stopper for
deployment in these environments.

  So, I wholeheartedly applaud anything that can be done to make GRASS run
well under Windows without any administrative access.

Comment (by hamish):

 ... but for be benefit of users without admin rights on the system it
 should probably happen as part of the installer.

 maybe for GRASS 7 we should first check for it in ~/.grass7/fontcap, and
 if not found there look for it in $(ETC)/fontcap?
