fontsync - a command-line utility for synchronizing font settings
On Linux and BSD systems you have a lot of graphical toolkits and interfaces. With this abundance of options also comes an abundance of variance in how and where to configure things.
In particular, this also has the unfortunate effect of font settings existing all over the place, which hinders a consistent look. 'fontsync' aims to fix that by providing a pluggable font-config manager for applications and GUI toolkits you happen to use.
For now a quick note:
sbt run
Doing the above creates a native binary under target/scala-*/fontsync-out.
Fontsync, a program that can synchronize font-settings between different
programs. Ideas and such.
