*Copying mail to list*

Hello,

Thanks for the earlier reply.

So, I was looking through the current features in ftinspect and have a few
questions regarding the same.

* The gamma slider doesn't actually affect the glyphs in ftinspect. Is that
right?

* So there is a thread mentioning ftdump functionality in ftinspect with
the patch attached but I don't think that it's been used. Any specific
reasons?

* Does ftbench specifically needs GUIfication? Since it measures the
performance of common FreeType operations.

* What about ttdebug? Should that be considered for the GUIfication? If
yes, won't it limit the features for other demo programs within the given
GSoC timeframe?

* I think GUI tools like ftstring, ftmulti or ftview could be combined
under the same unified UI with all the options. What do you think?

Also, I started working on my proposal and would appreciate any suggestions
you and other project members might have.

Regards,
Veeki
