Search box to filter fonts in Left Column

[Dwight Shepherd]

A search box would be useful to allow filtering of fonts ..

For example i have a ton of fonts I dont know what the font name starts with (So type searching wouldn't help) but I know has that font name has the word 'mono'.
a Search box that actually can filter on a word or phrase would be great!!

Yes, this is already in the TODO file:

- Search interface for the font listing (needs thinking)

Here we go. It works very well (and fast) for me.

      * NEWS:
      * TODO:
      * data/gnome-specimen.glade:
      * specimen/specimenwindow.py:
        - Implemented search interface. The interface shows a menu
          item (with ctrl-f shortcut) and a find bar now. Typing
          into the entry filters the list of fonts. Pressing Enter
          activates the listing for better keyboard navigation.
        - Font loading on startup should be much faster because
          the model is disconnected from the view while it is
          populated with all available fonts.
