Use system wide font #43

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Fedora Packaging guidelines do allow shipping fonts in applications
packages. Free Sans font is shipped in standalone package but it's not
allowed/recommended to directly require font resources. For now I just
require this package and set Free Sans directory but I don't like hacking
policies. Could you please make gource to use system wide fonts?

Thanks 
Jaroslav

Hi. I agree the font handling could be better.

I did a little reading of:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_(FAQ)

I'm pretty sure as long as you don't actually include the font in your Gource 
package
(ie you use ./configure --enable-ttf-font-dir=blah), there's no Fedora policy
hack/violation.
