Hi all,
I've been working on a little tool for the past couple of days, which I'm calling the "Zen Fonts Manager." This tool is a simple way to add and remove fonts from your system, and lets you preview the fonts you've currently got installed. This program detects whether you're adding a bitmapped font or a TrueType font and places the font file either into /usr/share/fonts/misc/ or /usr/share/fonts/TTF/, respectively. After you install or remove a font, it updates the system font caches, so your new fonts are immediately available and your old fonts are immediately gone.
Note: to have the add/remove buttons work, run this as root or through ktsuss.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Go to http://rs.tc/dl/zw/ and download the tclkit and zfm files. Then:
chmod +x tclkit && mv tclkit /usr/bin
chmod +x zfm
Then, just run: ./zfm
This is definitely a work-in-progress. I've tested it out plenty, adding and removing fonts, and a few other people have already tested it on their systems without problem. Please note that when you remove a font, this program does in fact delete it from the disk!
Please let me know if you like it, and please send feedback and suggestions for improvement!
thanks!
