Hi;

Is it possible to tell Houdini to search for a specific folder to find typefaces, beyond just the typical system folder? E.g. $HIP/type or something like this?

I'm interested in using the Font sop in a cross-platform setup I'm building.

I assume it should work if you put them in /fonts folder in any houdini path, like in documents/houdiniXX.X/fonts or in your package/fonts or any other houdini path

Sweet, thank you.

Another question: if I have a font file that includes a full family (e.g. bold, italic, semi, black, etc), is there a way for me to specify that I want a particular family?

e.g. /path/to/font.ttf?family="black"

or something?
