NAME

       fontypython - Find, view and manage font files of all kinds.

SYNOPSIS

       fontypython [OPTIONS]... [VIEW]... [TARGET]...

DESCRIPTION

       fontypython is a GUI utility written in Python and WxPython that will help you do font stuff on GNU/Linux system.  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.

       If  you	have gucharmap or kfontview installed, (there is an option in Settings to choose which one) you can view any font's character maps
       etc.

       *Arbitrary means you can see and/or use any fonts in a local directory (or a mount). They do not need to be installed on your system.

OPTIONS

	VIEW  A place where fonts are. A Pog or a folder someplace.

	TARGET
	      A "Pog". A place to keep those fonts (just references to them).

	OPTIONS
	      Below are the various command-line options. You don't need to use them, but they are handy. The program will run as  a  GUI  if  you
	      only invoke 'fontypython'.

       -e, --examples
	      Show some %$@#$ examples!

       -l, --list
	      List the names of all the Pogs.

       -i Pog, --install=Pog
	      Install the fonts in this Pog to your fonts folder.

       -u Pog, --uninstall=Pog
	      Uninstall the fonts in this Pog.

       -p Pog, --purge=Pog
	      Purge the Pog of font files that are no longer really there.

       -s num, --size=num
	      Set a new default point size.

       -n num, --number=num
	      Set a new default for how many fonts to view at one go. Don't overdo this.

       -c folder --check=folder
	      Check  for  bad  fonts  that crash the program. It will recurse through sub-folders. This will build a file: ~/.fontypython/segfonts
	      After using this tool you should be able to browse safely. (The reason it's not done by default is that it's very slow.)	NOTE:  The
	      fonts that crash the program are probably still perfectly good and can be used in other apps.

       -a folder Pog, --all=folder Pog
	      Puts  all  fonts	in  this  folder  into	the Pog. If the Pog already exists, it will add only *new* fonts, this means fonts are not
	      repeated in that Pog.

       -A folder Pog, --all-recurse=folder Pog
	      Puts all fonts in this folder and *all* sub-folders into the Pog. Rest same as -a.

       -z Pog, --zip=Pog
	      All the fonts inside Pog will be zipped and the zipfile will be named after the Pog. The file will be placed in the  current  direc-
	      tory.

       --version
	      Show program's version number and exit.

       -h, --help
	      Show help message and exit.
