"The importance of an application has less to do with its size or popularity than it does with the importance of the need it fulfills. Recently I needed a font viewer, so I was happy to find FONTpage 0.2, a new font viewing utility written by Paul Sherman.

"FONTpage is a GPLed Python program. You can download it as a Slackware package, source code, or as an executable binary. You'll also need GTK+2-2.6, Python-2.4, pyGTK-2.6, and Fontconfig, unless you grab the binary, in which case all the dependencies are taken care of for you. Being the lazy type, that's exactly what I did..."
