[Sugar-devel] Font Editor Activity [GSoC '16]

[Yash Agarwal]

Hello all,
I have set up the development environment and added Gonzalo’s initial code.
I’ll be going through the Trufont <https://github.com/trufont/trufont/>
source code next.
check out the blog
<http://sugarlabs.github.io/font-editor-activity/dev-setup> for a screenshot

Cheers,
Yash Agarwal
