This is TkFont, a Tk-based font display program for X Windows.
INSTALLATION:
Be root. Run the install-sh program that comes with the
distribution. It will create a directory, /usr/local/lib/tkfont,
and place the tkfont file itself in /usr/local/bin. The tkfont file
has an absolute path to "wish" in the first line. Run "whereis
wish", and, based on that, change the first line of
/usr/local/bin/tkfont to match where `wish' really is on your
system. If you don't do this, tkfont probably won't work.
REQUIREMENTS:
Tk 4.x, Tcl 7.5. Tk 3.2 is almost certainly not going to
work; you can probably get away with slightly older versions of Tcl.
It's only been tested on Linux 2.x and XFree86 3.2; however, it
should work the same on any reasonable Unix and X-server.
WHY THIS PROGRAM:
I was really dissatisfied with xfontsel. I found that it
was a) ugly and b) clunky. I wanted to write something better. This
is what I came up with. I like it. If you like it as well, please
let me know. If you don't like it, please tell me why, and I will
try to improve it.
