Hi Simon,<br><br>>Fontconfig is definitely the way to go here. It makes it nice and easy<br>>to install a font - just drop into a directory...<br><br>KDE font installer more simple - just right mouse click on font file in Konqueror :)
<br><br>>While I am not sure about the gnome libraries, I believe that GTK+ is an<br>>excellent choice for a toolkit. I am biased of course, but as a Gimp<br>>developer I cannot say that we are "bound" to the GTK+ life cycle. It
<br>>usually depends on you, if you really want to use the most recent<br>>features or if you can resist :)<br><br>On my opinion Tkinter is more flexible and more stable than pyGtk, because it just<br>translates Tcl string commands to wish interpreter. More over Tk-based applications are
<br>faster than pyGtk-based, at least on Gtk 2.x. Therefore "GimpToolKit" is an excellent <br>choise for Gimp, but this rule is not useful for all applications :).<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Igor Novikov<br>sK1 Team
