Fonts on a NAS


i'm trying find out how inform friend adobe indesign server have fonts on cifs mounted share.

 

to best of knowledge, indesign search, automatically, c:\windows\fonts, c:\...\adobe server 5.5\fonts, \\remote\[document working folder\document fonts\

 

how go telling additional font directories? @ present, have one, there may more, mounted or made available via networked shares.

 

is there setenv() call need make? app.preferences setting?

 

i eagerly await authoritative reply.

 

thanks!

to best knowledge -- which, far indesign server concerned, *zero* -- indesign uses of locally installed fonts, ones in adobe/common/fonts (not sure path), , ones in indesign/fonts. these paths hardcoded, there no preferences or settings change.

 

of course may differ id server, random search through dom not reveal font paths. if it's there, it's not scriptable.

 

have tried asking on id server forum?

 

(one of things wanted try, jus' laffs, see happens if put *link* font file in 1 of font folders. , if link points folder instead? ah, i'm busy real world work, no time experiment...)
