Fonty Python for Linux 0.4.2

Fonty Python project allows you to manage your fonts on Gnu/Linux.<br /><br />As a designer, I missed the ability to view and keep lists of fonts in easy-to-use collections.<br /><br />With this program you can assign/remove fonts to/from a 'pog' (from the word typography) and then install the pog. All the fonts within it will be linked within your $HOME/.fonts directory. When you are done using them (in other applications), you can simply remove the pog, and all the links will be removed too.<br /><br />It's great for keeping your fonts organized on a per client/project/job basis. It also keeps "font clutter" in your font choosers down to a minimum.<br /><br />It is written as a mixed command-line/gui application at the moment, allowing very quick use. You can install/remove pogs without having to start the entire gui, which is neat.<br /><br />FP is now on 0.2.0 and has a full user interface. None of the command-line goodness has been lost though.<br /><br />Please let me know what you think of Fonty Python, and help me fix bugs and improve the app.<br /><br />How to install:<br /><br />Please see the end of this file if your install fails, there are certain files that FP relies upon.<br /><br />I assume you have extracted the "tarball" already. Change to the directory it creates.<br /><br />As the root user enter this command:<br /><br />python setup.py install<br /><br />If you are on Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/etc:<br /><br />sudo python setup.py install<br /><br />This will create a program called 'fp'<br /><br />Alternative installation:<br /><br />Move the entire extracted folder to a folder that<br />is in your PATH, like ~/bin<br /><br />Make a link to the fp script like this: (for e.g.)<br /><br />tar -s ~/bin/fontypython-x.x.x/fp .<br /><br />Make it executable:<br /><br />chmod u+x fp<br /><br />Now you should be good to go.<br /><br />If it does not work, try closing your console and<br />starting it again.<br /><br />Running the program:<br /><br />To get started:<br /><br />fp -h<br /><br />#md5=73077c9b8bb39a6fbd1746fa7fe6180f
