Package: fontmatrix
Version: 0.6.0+svn20100107-2+b2
Severity: important

The manpage of fontmatrix claims:

"The definitive options are in the program's usage statement. Run:
fontmatrix --help to view the usage statement."

However running "fontmatrix --help" will start the main gui.

In the gui, the "Help" option provides a page stating

"Sorry, no manual is installed!

Please contact your package provider or Fontmatrix team if you built
the application yourself"

There's no documentation in /usr/share/doc/fontmatrix or elsewhere in
the package, and the manual and FAQ on the website are mostly empty.

(Specifically, I'd love to get some information on how those filters
work, and what/how exactly they match, because I'm trying to list all
monospace/charcell spacing fonts on my system. This kind of thing is
easy to do with xfontsel, but that doesn't know anything about
truetype fonts.

As an aside, is there an alternative to fontmatrix or font-manager?
None of these seem to be able to filter monospace/charcell fonts.
There used to be an application called gfontsel or gtkfontsel a few
years ago, but I can't find it any more.

fc-list :spacing=mono;fc-list :spacing=charcell

works of course, but doesn't give me a graphical display.)
