Gnome Specimen 0.2 is out! (Note: this is just the message posted earlier as a blog post at http://uwstopia.nl/blog/2007/06/gnome-specimen-0-2-is-out Visit that URL for pictures, screenshots, and more links) I proudly present Gnome Specimen 0.2, your favourite tool for previewing and comparing fonts. It has been a while since the initial Gnome Specimen release happened. Since then, development has slowed down a bit... however, Gnome Specimen is still alive! User-visible changes in this release: * New artwork: application icon and image in about dialog * Show previews for all font styles when a font family is double-clicked/activated * Don't ellipsize the preview texts, scroll instead * Use a more common pangram as the default preview text * Allow zooming using ctrl-mousewheel * Consistently use the correct application name * Respect theme colors Other changes: * Store settings and defaults in GConf * Allow running from the source directory * Changed license to GPL only (copy-pasted boilerplate referred to LGPL as well) * Better Python module checking Translation updates (the Gnome community rocks): * Brazilian Portuguese (Vinicius Depizzol) * British English (Alex Jones) * Catalan (Josep Puigdemont) * Chinese (Lew Harper) * Czech (Vitezslav Kotrla) * Dutch (Wouter Bolsterlee) * Finnish (Kalle Vahlman) * French (Yan Brodeur) * German (Christian Kintner) * Greek (Dimitris Glezos) * Italian (Daniele Medri) * Norwegian Bokmaal (Runar Ingebrigtsen) * Portuguese (Flavio Martins) * Russian (Alexandre Prokoudine) * Spanish (Albert Abril) * Swedish (Maarten Woxberg, Daniel Nylander) * Vietnamese (Nguyễn Thai Ngọc Duy) Get it while it's hot!
