[mapguide-internals] Patch for ticket 532 (MGOS should find fonts on Linux)

[Walt Welton-Lair]

Two things:

1. To avoid code duplication, have the Linux version of FontManager::init_font_list() now call your new AddLinuxFontDirectory method with the default font directory (".").

2. Would it be better to use ":" as the path separator?  That's the default used in Linux, and could also work ok for Windows.


Otherwise patch looks good to me.

Hi All, 

I've made a patch for ticket 532 

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/532

This adds a new general Linux-only serverconfig.ini property
(LinuxFontDirectories) that specifies a comma-delimited list of directories where MapGuide should look for additional fonts. Fonts from these directories are loaded into the FontManager as part of server initialization.

This eliminates the need of having to copy the required physical font files into the MapGuide Server's bin directory on Linux to avoid incorrect/hieroglyphic labels being rendered.

Please review. Thanks. 

- Jackie
