Summary:                    Additional path to internal GDFONTPATH
Description: 
I'd recommend changing the internal default of GDFONTPATH to prepend
/etc/opt/csw/share/fonts/truetype since /etc/opt/csw is often used to
override /opt/csw.

Actually, OpenCSW doesn't lend itself well to sharing or copying.  I
install pkgutil on each system, and then install the packages I need on
each system.

Actually, I'm thinking of what happens when I add or upgrade packages, and
changes I've made within /opt/csw are destroyed, where as, the changes made
under /etc/opt/csw are not.

BTW: Adding /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType did not help me, because
the font names I need were inconsistant.  Solaris uses 'Arial.ttf', the
application required 'arial.ttf'.   Solaris uses 'TimesNewRoman.ttf', the
application required 'Time-Roman.ttf'.  By using symbolic links, was able
to rename the files to what the application needed.
