The autoprovides generation is.

Font preview generators and how to embed previews in static wiki pages/PK are being discussed in the open font library list right now. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/openfontlibrary/2009-February/001763.html The need has already been identified, but someone needs to do the coding work. Then I believe PK integration would follow quickly. http://bugzilla.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18928 It's the obvious next step after building a reasonable font package base. > PS: maybe it would be better to forward this thread part to the -fonts > list should there be any further discussion, I am subscribed there so > you won't need to CC me.
