Why is this requiring a new VM? Or did you mean an updated .app structure?
Yes, I should have said VM application. Point is, the .app bundle is designed for this purpose, and images with preconfigured fonts will break or look ugly if the fonts are not there.
The alternative possibilities are not very interesting:
Yep. How would we package the fonts for Unix and Windows VMs? Adrian
- use system fonts -> wrong, the fonts are only there by default on (most) linuxes, so in practice, images will break until the user manually installs the fonts - distribute fonts in the image -> huge image - distribute fonts besides the image -> it's already tedious to keep .image and .changes - distribute fonts besides the VM like the .sources -> I'm not sure if that plays well with OS conventions for font installation
