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

[Dave Crossland]

Hi

It would also be good to make a 'cellrenderer' table view of the font's
glyphs:

Also, this mailing list might be helpful in answered non-sugar-specific
questions: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/python-hackers-list

Cheers
Dave
