It occurred to me that the current coding uses the HOME directory, so we
should be able to just set that to the USB stick in our batch file
before running Denemo.

I am confused why are we using HOME to look for fonts.

Shouldn't the font path should be:
get_executable_dir (), "..", "share", "fonts", "truetype", "denemo", NULL

Then it would not matter if the fonts are in home or on a usb or even in Downloads

 

I tried this out in the Denemo.bat file - it didn't work, and that may
be because in Denemo we get the HOME directory via a gtk call which
perhaps ignores the environment variable and goes to the windows
registry instead.
But, we could potentially copy the .denemo-xxx folder before and after

I thought the .denemo-xxx folder is just for user prefs and actions.

 

Denemo runs in the batch file. This would avoid having to try to decide
at run time if the program is being run from a USB stick. (Because the
batch file only lives on the USB stick).

Is this for storing the .denemo-xxx with the directory bundle?
