I&#39;m wondering whether my hopefully soon starting work on the text-related GUI and partially backend<br>code is a good time to make arrangements for this, or whether this should be tackled at a different<br>time in a different scope.<br>
<br>Having no backend code, it would make it rather hard to prepare the &quot;frontend backend&quot; code for<br>whatever is going to come, but on another note it should be said that extending the related<br>control GUI for this should not be a big problem (i.e. what Bulia mentioned with listing the SVG Fonts<br>
and listing them before the system fonts in font lists).<br><br>Certainly my new design for the font dropdown will allow this, and rewriting the text dialog would be not<br>a big problem either.<br><br>Just my 2cents in light of my upcoming work.<br>

&gt; Since libpango development of the userfonts feature is very slow (currently<br>
&gt; at 0% done), I would like to ask you to keep in mind the possibility of<br>
&gt; adding special cases for SVG Fonts in the font family selector and in the<br>
&gt; text rendering on canvas.<br>
<br>
</div>We will have to special-case them anyway, because &quot;fonts in this<br>
document&quot; should logically be listed separately on top of all others<br>
in the font list.<br>
<br>
I think the key class here is Font - we just need to teach it to deal<br>
with SVG fonts as it does with Pango fonts, and then little changes<br>
will be required in the rest of the codebase (hopefully).<br>
Unfortunately the original author of that class (Fred) is unavailable,<br>
but the class itself is much simpler than other Fred&#39;s classes in<br>
livarot.<br>
