after I've installed all dependencies when I come to make the package I've got this message :

I can agree with that
but
can we get a solution for a working Font Manager ?
this is a must for designers and your Font Manager is ...as far as I've
tested, the best of breed.

I don't really know why distributions (I mean big names here) won't
sustain(financially or with manpower) such project which is a 'sine qua
non' for the linux ecosystem

on my view this project has the same relevance as Cairo or Pango ...

the problem with the version from Saucy repository is that for a fresh
linux install it works - once you put some fonts inside Font Manager crash
after loading the main ui ...

until the next version will come (at least for Ubuntu's row) can we get
some tips or how-to's about how to make it work again ? - this would be
gold

today It was ok - on my fonts folder were about 150 fonts
using Font Manager (file-manager from Saucy repository) I've installed some
more fonts from another folder - then at the next start File Manager
Crashed

this is what I get :

font-manager --version
INFO : Verified /home/sq4/.fonts.conf
INFO : Font Manager is now starting
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/font-manager", line 98, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/font-manager", line 89, in main
    Main()
  File "/usr/share/font-manager/main.py", line 98, in __init__
    self.objects.load_core()
  File "/usr/share/font-manager/main.py", line 425, in load_core
    self.data['FontManager'] = core.get_manager(self.data['MainWindow'])
  File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/__init__.py", line 791, in get_manager
    MANAGER = FontManager(PROGRESS_CALLBACK, parent)
  File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/__init__.py", line 177, in __init__
    core.fonts.Sort(self, self.progress, self.parent)
  File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/fonts.py", line 308, in __init__
    self._sort()
  File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/fonts.py", line 438, in _sort
    rows = self.table.get('*', 'family="{0}"'.format(name))
  File "/usr/share/font-manager/core/database.py", line 255, in get
    raise sqlite3.ProgrammingError(self.db.error)
sqlite3.ProgrammingError: near "Call": syntax error

=== a tip about how to fix this would be gold for many linux based
designers ..

thanks in advance for any help - and thank you and Alessio for keeping the
project alive

In regards to the version of the application available in the repositories. It is thoroughly broken. Some distributions such as Arch have patched their way around it.

This is the result of years passing without an update. Bit rot. That's my fault. Unfortunately, real life gets in the way of hobbies sometimes.

In any case, the version in SVN is close, and much improved I believe, there are only a few more features left to implement before an actual release can be made.

At that point, a month or two at most, hopefully it will be made available in the repositories quickly.

For anybody interested in testing please see

Thanks.
