Description Ryan 2005-12-01 13:19:36 UTC
A simple font viewing utility. Uses pyGTK to display system fonts and allows
user to change font size, color, background color, font face and the diplayed
text. Handy to view fonts and styles quickly, or use to make "logo" graphics.
Also can be used to install/delete fonts on a per-user basis.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




Simple ebuild that just copies a python script over to /usr/bin and copies the
documents to the correct spot.

I found this application looking for a good font browser to go through all the
fonts and get an accurate picture of what the font looks like.  The only one I
could find currently in portage is gfontview, which doesn't do a good job at all
at display what the fonts look like.

FONTpage-0.6.ebuild

not sure if this is a proper way to isntall a standalone python script, but it
works.

If there is a better way, please let me know.

fontpage-1.0.ebuild

Here is an ebuild for the latest fontpage.  The python script was renamed to all lowercase so I change the name of the ebuild to match.  By doing this I had to change th MY_P variable to match the tarball.

One issue, when trying to download the package from the site using wget, I get an forbidden error.  So for now , it has to be downloaded from the site.  I am waiting to here back from the dev on the issue and will add the feth restriction if needed.
Comment 3 Ryan 2006-05-04 06:38:41 UTC
changed the summary to add fontpage to help with searching

fontpage-1.0-r1.ebuild

Here is the package with fetch restriction turned on.

The developer was having his server pillaged(sp?) with wget's mirror function so he just blocked it all together.  He is running the server out of his house and he said it was just killing his bandwidth.  I have hadded the no_fethc() function with the html page you need to goto to download the package.

The only other work around I see is to put it on gentoo's mirrors (not sure what that takes to accomplish that)

fontpage-2.0.ebuild

Updated to 2.0, removed the fetch restriction.

Changelog:
* New "Display Font" feature opens popup window with 
	  complete alphabet (upper and lower case) and 0-9.
	  Window shows current font with current size -- use 
          multiple windows to compare different fonts.
* Font size now scales up to 256 pts (was 128)
* Config file will now track last window dimensions 
          when the application is restarted.
* If user font directory directory (~/.fonts) does not exist, 
          FONTpage will create one. This is to facilitate installing 
          and deleting fonts, which FONTpage will only do on a per-user 
          basis. (This is to avoid problems.)

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.
Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.
