Att: Kartk - Fony description

[Donn]

Kartik,
I just noticed that the description for Fonty when one looks it up in a
package manager is: "A GUI tool to manage ttf fonts"

This is out of date now. If it's not too late, could we use:

"Find, view and manage fonts - group them for temporary use. TTF, TTC, OTF and
Type1 files supported."

Sorry to pick this up so late!

Hi,

Thanks for noticing it..

However, Debian package has two types package description.

1. Short: Need to fit this < 60 characters
2. Extended: Should be verbose about what package is doing. More than
2 lines are useful.

So, we have: http://packages.debian.org/sid/fontypython

First line is (1), next para is (2)

I will add suggested description with next upload..

Kartik,

> 1. Short: Need to fit this < 60 characters

Find, view and manage font files of all kinds.
(46 chars)

You can quickly view and filter arbitrary TTF, TTC, OTF or Type1 font files and
then gather them together into 'pogs' which can be installed or removed as
needed. In this way you control which fonts are installed on a per-project
basis.

Brilliant.

I sent the two strings yesterday, not sure if you got them.
Does the "next upload" mean Fonty 0.5 or do you mean you will re-upload 0.4?

Thanks,

Next upload in Debian will be: 0.4-2

I have uploaded 0.4-1 where revision after - shows Debian revision.

I wondered what the -1 was, however I still don't really savvy. As ever, I
leave it in your hands. Many thanks Kartik.
