Description Paul Jarc 2009-10-11 18:52:24 UTC

mkfontdir.cpp refers to mkfontscale as BINDIR/mkfontscale.  This breaks if mkfontscale is installed in a different prefix, as it may be since they are packaged separately.  This would work in a wider variety of setups:
PATH=BINDIR:$PATH
exec mkfontscale ...
