<div><br>Great work! <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">It seems to build and install correctly but needs<br> more testing. I'm also trying to do some uncrufting - there are lots of<br>

I am planning to release a tuxtype-1.5.17 today as the last release prior to<br> the overhaul, using the code in trunk. It is almost the same as 1.5.16, with<br> a couple of additional themes and some cosmetic menu work.<br>
<br> The new Nepali theme requires an additional font, lohit-hi.ttf, which provided<br> by the Debian package ttf-devanagari-fonts. There is another theme in the<br> works, Sinhala, that isn't quite ready yet, but will likely require yet<br>
another font. </blockquote><div><br>Yes sinhala uses lklug.ttf unicode font. <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
As the number of fonts grows, it is becoming more important<br> for someone (perhaps me) to fix tuxtype so it reacts gracefully if a<br> requested font cannot be loaded (at present, this causes a segfault). We<br> could then change the Debian dependencies for fonts to "recommends"<br>
(or "suggests", or whatever the correct term is).<br> <br> </blockquote></div><br><br>Yes I too think so. Let's change them as the recommended dependencies to install tuxtype.<br>Even for each indic language's themes we need to use different different fonts. David I think I can fix this problem. <br>
