Interesting enough. I'm using gentoo and I've written an ebuild for the 02svn, and publicized a bit on gentoo international forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-626918-highlight-.html and here the bugzilla entry with the ebuild I wrote: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201538 I've used just qt-4.3 and freetype-2 as dependancies, tell me if I've missed something like other runtime deps or such things. > Font-book : > You’ll want to reduce the length of the sample text to have more space for > the > third font. Exacly, maybe not just three, but as much as possible... $ ls -l /usr/share/fonts/TTF/ | wc -l 1097 this means, more or less, a 450 pages pdf... not worth printing neither reading it! :) This, on first instance, means that there should be a better way to control how many pages are created: the padding around "font blocks" seems way too much sometimes. Secondly I think you've already thought of sorting fonts not just alphabetically, but by Tag or family name maybe... well, just the first things that come into my mind. > The code that generates fontbook is really ugly and will be rewrote soon. > I see the font-book generation as one of the great feature of Fontmatrix and > would like to make it the "definitive" way of producing an automatic > font-book (yes, I’m kind of optimistic this evening).
