[Skencil-users] 0.6.x on Mandriva Font solution

Hello everybody,

finally I figured out how to create good .sfd files for Skencil 0.6.
and attached is the font solution for Mandriva.
Tested on Mandrive 2006.0.

        * keep the alias.sfd file
        * use the following new sfd files instead of Skencil's original ones:
                gs.mdk.sfd
                gsopt.mdk.sfd
                std.mdk.sfd
        Add the following paths to the font_path in Sketch/Base/config.py
                /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
                /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript

To avoid the warning for the rules fonts, you can also use 
the attached patch. There are probably solutions which are more beautiful. :)

During figuring out how this all works, I have written a small
python script to check if fonts in an sfd file can be displayed
by the X server at all.
