## Currently under development

- Moving to the gtk-2 widget set.
  - Don't expect anything soon. I don't find this an interesting task. One widget set is much like another, such a conversion is a lot of work and doesn't involve any functional improvement. (Indeed I am currently ignoring this because gdk is less capable of dealing with images than my own drawing system -- at least in the ways that matter to me, and I don't want to rewrite all my image code)
- A command that will allow you to (but this has been listed here for a couple of years so don't expect anything much)
  - Make a character/font bolder
  - Extend or Condense a character/font
  - Change the X-Height of a font
  - Regularize stem widths

## Musings

- multiple baseline support
- Vertical metrics in embedded ttf bitmaps
- Better import of xfig files (a real X-Spline -> Bézier spline converter)
- Mechanism for creating fonts with multiple instances of the same character, each slightly different, coupled with a postscript routine which will for each character in a string, pick a random version of that character to display. An attempt to yield a slight non-uniformity to the font which may make its output look more interesting.
- A better way of aligning things. (need some form of grouping that is actually useful)
