General Information
===================

This is gtkfontsel, a font selector program which is very similar to xfontsel,
but is hopefully much easier to use.

gtkfontsel's home page is currently:
  http://glade.pn.org/fontsel

It uses GTK+, the Gimp ToolKit, which is a library for creating graphical
user interfaces for the X Window System. It should work with both GTK+ 1.0.x
and GTK+ 1.1.4+, though the user must have the matching library installed.
  http://www.gtk.org/

After selecting a font, you can use the 'Copy Font Name' button to copy the
font name to the clipboard, so you can easily paste it into another
application.

It also supports the '-print' command line option which will print the selected
font name to stdout when the user hits 'Exit'.

You can now set the preview text with the -p option, e.g.
  gtkfontsel -p "hello"


Installation
============

It uses configure, so most people can use:

	./configure
	make
	gtkfontsel

For more details, see the file 'INSTALL'


BUGS
====

X doesn't always return the font that matches, so incorrect fonts are
occasionally displayed (though this happens only rarely).
