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.

fontsync is still in development and does not have a usable version yet. Here are some preliminary ideas and notes about its construction.

• scala3
• scala-native
• scopt
• os-lib
• coulomb
• circe
• circe-scala-yaml
• scala-xml

• needs to be dpi aware
• needs to be scaling-factor aware
• needs to handle unit conversion
• standard command interface to plugins
• plugins can run commands, edit files, etc
• option to do size only, or font name only

• mono font and size
• sans font and size
• serif font and size

• gnome
• gtk2
