Here's the deal, when I build Kodos, the menu fonts are unreadable, I
have a suspicion that it's because the author chose Bitstream Charter,
but I'm not sure what the font is. The reason I think it may be is
because he told me that is what's in his preferences file (I think he's
on a Fedora Core box).
Anyhow, this package basically works except that it's unusable. I'm
debating whether to try to fix it or drop it. The only way I can use it
right now is side-by-side with a binary installation on a Windows
machine (so I can compare the locations of the menu items). One
possibility is fixing my installation to the point that I can read the
menus and then bundling my preferences file with the package (that's
what the upstream author recommended as the underlying source is not
being developed).
By the way, the upstream author is the same author who wrote denyhosts.
