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 directory.

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

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