By this you mean, /usr/share/fonts folder? or /home/olpc/.fontconfig
one? I think the first one. Moreover, would I require to write a
script for copying these font files to the desired folder because I
don't think we have permissions to write files to these directories
from our python code. And I should run this script (.sh) before
running my actiivity for the first time?

would this also require the use of scripts?

Thanx for the advice . would surely confirm it that the the
redistribution rights are not violated and then only would make a
decision.
