Hi,
I just added a font selector in the configuration dialog box.
Since there is not much more room in it. I removed the skin selector and
thus the black skin. It was not as cute and fine tuned as the colorfull one.
It makes it easy to use GCompris with an other font. We already
mentioned the Ruluko font for handwriting but another use case is
dyslexic children by using the opendyslexic font :
http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Ruluko
http://opendyslexic.org/
It is easy to install a new font on desktop systems. On Linux, once the
font is copied under a directory in '/usr/share/fonts/' the command
'sudo fc-cache -f -v' must be ran to refresh the font list.
Once the font is known to the system, the selector in GCompris will
propose it.
This is committed in trunk, for those who like to compile, your test is
welcome.
Bruno.
