It would be nice for users to be able to install it through normal channels and not have to keep up with updates or deal with unsigned packages. While still incomplete, I feel that it's at a point now where it's actually acceptable for an average desktop user. Anyone interested can grab the .deb or source from <a href="http://code.google.com/p/font-manager/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/font-manager/</a> But please keep in mind that this app is very young still and I am NOT an experienced developer. ;-) That said, comments, opinions, criticism are always very welcome. -- ubuntu-art mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art</a> </blockquote></div>One feature which I find all font managers outside of OSX's is the ability to view fonts from a folder besides the .fonts or /usr/share/fonts folder. Why would I need this? I keep most of my fonts outside of the default folders so they aren't loaded when an app starts, as I have a ton of them and it makes load times skyrocket. If you could implement that feature, that would make my life SO much easier than what I am having to do currently (split my fonts into 8 alternative .fonts folders and rename each one to go through the fonts).
