A simple font management application for Gtk+ Desktop Environments
|============================= Version 0.7.2 ==================================|
Please DO NOT file issues regarding feature enhancements or missing features at
this time.
However feel free to comment at
https://code.google.com/p/font-manager/issues/detail?id=85
Features that are expected to work at this time:
Migration of fonts and collections from the previous version
Font Previews
Enabling / Disabling Fonts
Creating / Deleting / Enabling / Disabling of Font Collections
Font Installation
- By drag and drop (Preferred method)
- By using the file selector
Note : Drag and drop should allow installation of not only individual
font files but also entire directories and archives. The file
selector unfortunately will not allow selection of directories.
Font removal
Font directory monitoring
Note : Font Manager should reload itself anytime fonts are installed
or removed either through the application or any other method.
Font Sources
Adding / Removing font folders.
Note : Fonts in these folders should be available for preview in the
application even if they are not enabled system wide.
Opening Font Files
The application can now be set as the default handler for font files.
When called with the path to a font file it will launch as a font viewer.
The font viewer is very simple and is only intended for previewing
and installing individual font files.
File Manager Extensions
When the font viewer is running you should be able to preview font files
by simply selecting them in the file manager.
To enable an extension pass --enable-pycompile --with-nautilus,
--with-thunar or --with-nemo to configure.
For more details and known issues see the README file in the extensions
directory.
Missing / Planned features :
Help contents
Character map details viewer
Database search
FontConfig editor
- session-wide settings
- per font settings
- aliases (low priority)
Exporting Collections
- proof sheet
- html?
KNOWN ISSUES
Some themes do not render as intended. This is a problem with the theme.
Unless the issue also occurs when using Adwaita, or most other themes...
