Fontilus is a small collection of programs to help manage fonts on GNOME
systems using fontconfig, such as GNOME 2.1 or Red Hat 8. It is
available from:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/fontilus/0.1/
The first part is a gnome-vfs module that implements a "fonts:"
directory. If you point nautilus at this folder, you will get a list of
the fonts on your system that fontconfig knows about. By dragging font
files to "fonts:", you can install them for use (the font file will be
written to ~/.fonts, which is in fontconfig's default font path).
To make browsing fonts nicer, a thumbnailer is included for use with
Nautilus 2.1. When turned on, you will see a preview of the font as the
icon in Nautilus. See the README for information on how to enable this
feature.
The last program is a simple font viewer that is installed as the
default application for Type1, TrueType and PCF font files. This
program will display text rendered at various sizes in the font, along
with some information about the font.
Fontilus requires gtk+, gnome-vfs, fontconfig and Xft2 to build. You
will also want Nautilus installed in order to use it.
James.
