[Sugar-devel] [GSOC] Font Editor Next Steps

[Yash Agarwal]

Some Questions:
@General Issue
How are multiple pages/modes(>5) managed in a sugar activity ?
Are pages destroyed the moment user shifts to a different page?
I tried making a Page Manager Class which will manage all the pages but I'm
having difficulties implementing it
here is my implementation so far:
https://github.com/sugarlabs/edit-fonts-activity/blob/yash-v0/pager.py

What's the usual/standard way in sugar for creating vertical toolbars
(right and left aligned both)?

@Dave and Eli
Can you specify the UI details for the following modes so that I can design
it in the activity

   1. Font Summary Screen
      1. font info
      2. sample view of the font
      3. option to edit/install/delete the font
   2. Character Map Screen
   3. Glyph Info Screen
   4. Editing Interface (this one is done)
   5. Make new font dialogue
   6. Font Manager

As my Current Progress is a little lacking due to my week away I think we
should make a list of all the tasks I need to finish before the Midterm
Deadline (we can do this here
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/edit-fonts-activity/blob/gh-pages/_posts/2016-06-14-midterm-deadline-tasks.md>
)

with regards
Yash Agarwal
