NAME

fontypython - A Program to manage your ttf fonts on GNU/Linux.

SYNOPSIS

fontypython [OPTIONS]... [VIEW]... [TARGET]...

DESCRIPTION

fontypython is GUI utility written in Python and Wxwidgets that will help you to manage ttf fonts on GNU/Linux system. You can collect any fonts together (even ones not in your system font folders) into 'pogs' and then install and remove the pogs as you need them. In this way you can control what fonts are in your user font folder, thus avoiding long lists of fonts in the font chooser dialogues of your apps.

OPTIONS

VIEW

A place where fonts are. A pog or a folder someplace.

TARGET

A "pog". A place to keep those fonts (just references to them).

-e, --examples

Show some %$@#$ examples!

-l, --list

List the names of all the pogs.

-i pog, --install=pog

Install the fonts in this pog to your fonts folder.

-u pog, --uninstall=pog

Uninstall the fonts in this pog.

-p pog, --purge=pog

Purge the pog of ttf files that are no longer really there.

-t "text", --text="text"

Set a new default sample text. Eg, "This is an ex-parrot". Be sure to use the quotes.

-s num, --size=num

Set a new default point size.

-n num, --number=num

Set a new default for how many fonts to view at one go. Don't overdo this.

-c folder --check=folder

Check for bad fonts that crash program. It will recurse through sub-folders. This will build a file: ~/.fontypython/segfonts After using this tool you should be able to browse folders that crashed program. (The reason it's not done by default is that it's very slow.) NOTE: The fonts that crash program are probably still perfectly good and can be used in other apps. It's simply a bug in the library we use to access fonts that chokes things. This will improve in the future.

--version

Show program's version number and exit.

-h, --help

Show help message and exit.
