PrivatePaths

This function has not been fully integrated into the long-term Wolfram Language, and is subject to change.

PrivatePaths

is a global option that specifies settings for paths private to the notebook front end.

Details

  • The typical usage is PrivatePaths->{opt1->val1,opt2->val2,…}.
  • The following suboptions can be specified:
  • "AFM"search directories for Adobe font (Unix only)
    "Fonts"search directories for Wolfram System fonts
    "SystemResources"search directories for Wolfram System system resources
    "TextResources"search directories for Wolfram System text resources
  • The option "AFM" specifies the directories to be searched for Adobe Font Metrics files which contain information about fonts.
  • A typical directory that is included in the list for the "AFM" option is FrontEnd`FileName[{$InstallationDirectory,"SystemFiles","Fonts","AFM"}].
  • Typical directories that are included in the list for the "Fonts" option are FrontEnd`FileName[{$InstallationDirectory,"SystemFiles","Fonts"}] and FrontEnd`FileName[{$UserBaseDirectory, "Fonts"}].
  • A typical directory that is included in the list for the "SystemResources" option is FrontEnd`FileName[{$InstallationDirectory,"SystemFiles","FrontEnd", "SystemResources"}].
  • A typical directory that is included in the list for the "TextResources" option is FrontEnd`FileName[{$InstallationDirectory,"SystemFiles","FrontEnd", "TextResources"}].
  • If the "AFM", "Fonts", "SystemResources" or "TextResources" option is changed carelessly, the Wolfram System may be unable to locate basic components that it requires for operation. If this happens, you may need to delete or manually edit your preferences file to restore correct functioning to the system.
