Mark, an honour to get an email from you. > This sounds really interesting! Is it all integrated with FontConfig etc? I am afraid to say that it's far more simple than all that. I found that by making soft links in the ~/.fonts folder to a ttf file, it would "install" a font. So, from that the idea grew pretty quickly. All I am doing is managing flat text files which I call "pogs" that list the ttf fonts selected and when one "installs" the pog, I simply make links to them.
I have kept it as simple as I could. The pog files are intentionally human readable so that they can be searched and replaced (should font directories change) by the user. I did it in wxPython, once again ease and ignorance were my motivations - I am not too clued-up on C and company :) I am aiming at a more "gui" like version next and I after that hope to add a pyqt interface so that it will find whichever one (wx or qt) is installed at the time, thus making it easier (I hope) for the end user. Well, I have taken too much of your time. Thanks for the interest and thanks for Ubuntu!
