Many of us out there writes small tools to just solve a simple task that you need. Here, I will present a tool I needed last night.
I have a small job doing a wordpress site for some people, and I needed a image with the site title in a font matching some specific criteria (like a double story lowercase A and a small serif on lowercase L, while in general being a Sans Serif type).
So what I needed was a application that let me write a word or a phrase, and see it written with all available fonts on the system.
So, it took a little more than a effective hour and 120 lines of code to come up with this:
And if anyone cares, I have pushed the sources to git.kde.org.
I’m sure many of you also have various such small apps. Let’s see them. That’s also you Eike and your svgtoy app :)
Another thing I learned from this app is that the ukij fonts targetted the Uyghyr language actually is very interesting also for western europeans.
Small and useful application! Thank you :-)
Oh, this should be possible with every application what allows to choose a font. Is that program called fontpicker or what?
