It automatically constructs the fonts.scale file which +X uses to identify fonts in can use the current directory. Previously you +had to write this file by hand which is unacceptable if you have lots of +fonts. + +The program can also generate Fontmap entries for Ghostscript (which can +then be put in the global Fontmap to speed up startup times) and it can +produce font sample sheets as well. + +Please be warned that this is beta quality software and has limitations. I +think you will, however, find it useful and the bugs will go away over time +if people help me with it. + +Reports of success or otherwise welcomed at the address below. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +James Macnicol (J.Macnicol@student.anu.edu.au) |
