[Pkg-phototools-devel] [Oiio-dev] OpenImageIO 1.6 beta period begins

[Larry Gritz]

Is the issue the bundling, the license terms, where the files live, or just the principle of it all?

It will still find the system fonts just like it always did.

The purpose of the bundled fonts it to make sure there was at least one option wherein users (and my unit tests) could get identical results for text rendering on all platforms, and for it to be able to make some fallback if another requested font was not found anywhere. It is not critical to any operation, and we can easily disable it. If it's helpful to you, I'm happy to make a build-time option to skip it.
