Hello,

I have found by experimentation that <include> tags don't work in my ~/.magick/type.xml. It would be a convenience to me if this was supported.

I have a large collection of fonts, split up into several different directories. In each of these directories, I have created a type.xml with font definitions for all the files in that directory. I would like to be able to use include tags in my ~/.magick/type.xml in order to selectively add the font definitions from particular directories. This would be more convenient than defining all the fonts directly in ~/.magick/type.xml because I would be able to include or exclude a group of related fonts by changing a single line in the file.

Thank you.

The include directive is relative to the current directory so you will need to specify ../ in your filename to traverse the file hierarchy.

Yes that works. Will you consider supporting absolute paths too, in the future?

Thank you.

Absolute paths are already in ImageMagick 6.4.7-3 beta available sometime tomorrow.

Many thanks. I will be able to make immediate use of the feature.
