[gentoo-user] Does skencil work for anybody else?

[Grant Edwards]

I just emerged skencil, but it doesn't run:

   shared memory images supported
   Could not load font '-misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' for 
ruler. using defaults.
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/usr/bin/skencil", line 34, in <module>
       Sketch.main.main()
     File "/usr/lib/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/Base/main.py", line 148, in main
       run_script = options.run_script)
     File "/usr/lib/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/skapp.py", line 183, in __init__
       self.build_window()
     File "/usr/lib/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/skapp.py", line 223, in 
build_window
       self.run_script)
     File "/usr/lib/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/mainwindow.py", line 97, in 
__init__
       self.build_window()
     File "/usr/lib/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/mainwindow.py", line 592, in 
build_window
       hrule = ruler.Ruler(root, orient = ruler.HORIZONTAL)
     File "/usr/lib/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/UI/ruler.py", line 68, in __init__
       font = self.tkwin.LoadQueryFont('fixed')
   AttributeError: Ruler instance has no attribute 'tkwin'

   
AFAICT, this is an upstream bug that has been around for almost two
years.

Does skencil work for anybody else?
