Comment (by stippi):
I thought the idea is that /boot/common is merged from both the packages
and the contents of non-packaged. B_COMMON_FONTS_DIRECTORY should still
point to /boot/common/data/fonts. Why is there the need to have additional
directories? Obviously that would not only break our own applications.
WonderBrush for example looks in B_COMMON_FONTS_DIRECTORY and is still
broken even when app_server is fixed. It has its own font engine.
Doesn't that mean it is not transparent any more to applications, which
stuff stems from packages and which from non-packages? How does it work
for libraries? I thought a library could shadow a packaged library by
putting a version in home/config/non-packaged/lib, which then appears in
home/config/lib, shadowing any version from packages in
home/config/packages. I would find it intuitive if it worked the same for
fonts, or rather all of the folders in that hierarchy.
