Hello everyone.
I have always been irritated by the fact that fonts always show as only
one alphabetical list. A real annoyance for people with lots of fonts
installed. How come it has never changed? Wouldn't it be nice if
fontconfig returned data that would allow programs to produce a
user-created font tree list? Something like :
All fonts >
(regular alphabetical list of fonts)
Fonts I like the best >
Baskerville
Times New Roman
Japanese fonts >
MSゴシック
MS明朝
Fonts I use for work >
Baskerville
Japanese >
MSゴシック
MS明朝
Cool pop fonts >
SweetCandy Ninja
SweetCandy Ninja Bold
The tree list would originate from ~./fonts.conf :
<match target="font">
<test qual="any" name="fullname"><string>MS明朝</string></test>
<edit name="usersort" mode="append_last"><string>Japanese
fonts</string></edit>
<edit name="usersort" mode="append_last"><string>Fonts I use at
work\Japanese</string></edit>
</match>
How does that sound? Am I looking at the right place anyway?
I think I could try to put my hands into that.
