Ann: A new version of FontyPython - TTF manager for Gnu/Linux
by Donn
Hello all, please forgive the intrusion ...
If anyone wants to manage TTF fonts under Linux, then FontyPython should do
the trick. I just finished and released version 0.2.0 which is my second
release onto:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/fontypython
I have attached a screeny so you can get a quick idea of what it's all about.
If anyone wants to help me, we could get it working with other font types too.
I know nothing at all about Type 1 and company.
I hope there are no showstopping bugs, enjoy.
Donn.

Mask/Clip is kinda hard to use
by Donn
Hello,
I don't know if I'm alone in this, but the mask/clip options in vers x.x are
very hard to use. The results are hard to predict. Colours of objects will
change (depending on fore/back ground order etc).
Also, the difference between clip and mask is not clear.
I come from a (distant) background in Macromedia Freehand and in that world
they had a concept called "Paste Inside".
1. Now that made perfect sense and was perfectly predictable. One did not have
to setup a bunch of "tests" on the side.
2. You could select items within the mask, and easily edit/move them.
In Inkscape 0.44, I get the feeling that those items are new and experimental,
perhaps they will get a better user interface - I'm not sure where the coders
are at now, I know they move really fast on a thousand fronts.
Anyway, any pointers?

Hi,
I cannot see this font among the default fonts, is this not supported?
