And of course the appearance>Fonts TAB, which will show the installed fonts in the system
--as well as the Debian font utilities..

Very usefull application, i've been looking for something like this for some time now. Thank you !

Umm appears i got some errors in the terminal, i do not know it they are related to your app but rather to my gtk installed themes, this happens after i press the "Set Font Preferences" button...appart from this though your app is quite stable ( and ready to be introduced in the mint repository i might add )

Here is the terminal output

EDIT: Nevermind the same thing shows when i start "gnome-appearance-properties" in the terminal

Code: Select all

 $ font-manager

Oh and one more thing what is this "Disabling blacklist temporarily...", what blacklist is it disabling??
Here's a suggestion when i select a font for example "Arial" and click the "Detail Font information" my screen is filled with 7 windows for each style the font has, this is really annoying, maybe you can make only one window popup with 7 tabs for each style

This app is excellent! I would seriously recommend that this would be a standard program in any Mint install. I'm surprised this has not received more traction considering the amount of princess that takes place (not entirely unwarranted) regarding stock fonts in Linux.

Clem and the rest of the Mint team: This would go a long way in adding That little bit of polish that helps make all the difference that we always are talking about.

Again, great work, and congrats for making such a useful tool - especially since you indicated that you are relatively new at coding. If I find any bugs (haven't yet) I'll let you know.
