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

[Yash Agarwal]

[image: moving-point.gif]Today's Work Report
I am still yet to get the Drag feature working
I was able to map the movement with the pointer movement but am not able

I found Fototoon a sugar activity that has this feature and am currently
going through it
