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, OTC,
       WOFF  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.  Fonty also includes a new "Hush" mechanism for stilling the noise of system fonts.
       Use this when you want to work with only the fonts that you wish to see.

       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.

VIEW TARGET

        VIEW  A place where fonts are. A Pog or a folder someplace. Also called a "source."

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

OPTIONS

Below are some of the main command-line options. See help for all of them. You don't need
to use them, but they are handy. The program will run as a GUI if you only invoke
'fontypython'.

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

-h b, --help b
Shows the basic help information.

-h e, --help e
Shows some %$@#$ examples!

-h hush, --help hush
Shows the basic help about hushing system fonts.

-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.

-c folder --check=folder
Check for bad fonts that crash the program. It will recurse through sub-folders.
This will build a file named "segfonts" in your fontypython directory. 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 zip file will be named after the
Pog. The file will be placed in the current directory.

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