Description: This is a tiny tool for tiny buttons. In short - an application we are waiting for so long. You all know these little images in the web abused as buttons and with writings stigmatised for their lifetime. So this app could grow up to their dungeon master, if you like. Dep: PyQT - QT/KDE-Bindings PIL - Python Image Library lots of TrueTypeFontsLast changelog:
0.1a ==== first release
0.1a2 ===== *start font setup fixed *some bugfixes of cacheparsing
Hey Strunzel, I like this app but it isnt useable due to the font error. Im using Kubuntu intrepid Ibex with all the dependencies resolved but still the default font cant be found. Also when I pick another it will still gives me the same error.
When I try to start it it says: --------------------- ./ButtonMaker Traceback (most recent call last): File "./main.py", line 15, in ? main(sys.argv) File "./main.py", line 9, in main win=my_func.Go() File "/mnt/data1/downloads/programs/25613-buttonmaker-0.1a2/buttonmaker-0.1a2/my_func.py", line 85, in __init__ self.fontTest('none') File "/mnt/data1/downloads/programs/25613-buttonmaker-0.1a2/buttonmaker-0.1a2/my_func.py", line 242, in fontTest dirs = FontDir(self.FontConf) File "/mnt/data1/downloads/programs/25613-buttonmaker-0.1a2/buttonmaker-0.1a2/fontConfig.py", line 62, in FontDir if file_[1].find('conf') == 0: IndexError: list index out of range --------------------- I am using Debian Sid and I have python-imaging and python-qt3 installed.
When i start it in the konsole, I get the following message:
-------------------------------------
./ButtonMaker
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./main.py", line 4, in ?
from qt import *
ImportError: No module named qt
-------------------------------------
Is there a dep. missing?
hm, ok, I installed some packages.
now this seems to work.
But now I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/buttonmaker/main.py", line 5, in ?

File "/opt/buttonmaker/my_image.py", line 2, in ?
import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
ImportError: No module named Image
Thank you
(Sorry, but I didn't read the list of deps. at top of this site)
But now I have the same problem like the others above.
Is there already a solution?
(modify the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf is not a good idea!)
I've running a debian (Kanotix)

Plz check your system for all fontconfig-package related stuff. It should contain this file. Maybe it is missing in the debian package as another poster got the same problem, see above. Removing the doctype-tag may cause trouble with your font setup, it's your risk.
I get this error, running BM:

Thx!
I forgot to add the message BM sends:
"The standard font file could not be found. Please choose another one."
Then the font choosing dialog appears and no matter which font I select, the message is shown again. Instead of clicking OK in the font chooser, I click Cancel: BM exits with the error I wrote in the last message.
I obtain this error:

PS.it's a fantastic idea,great job!
Ok, I expected such errors due to my font implementation. At the moment the app only supports TT-fonts with "Times New Roman" as default. If the app couldnt find it at the beginning the fontDialog requests to choose another one. At this point I forgot to handle your cancel action, sorry for this, I will fix it(@SWaN).
@SWaN: Please make sure you have some TT-fonts installed (or FreeType), all non-TT-fonts from the dialog wont do it.
@ATAHUALPA: I couldnt find another way to catch the real path of the fontfile then by parsing your font installation. So the app looks into "etc/fonts"(where fonts-paths normally should be set up), catches all dirs from the conf-files and processes the font-cache of the found font dirs. This awkward way is expected to produce errors and if your font installation doesnt fit the above at any point, it will fail. Regarding your problem: the error says: "unknown url type: /etc/fonts/fonts.dtd" which means that you havent the "fonts.dtd" file in etc/fonts, so the conf-files couldnt be parsed because of the lack of the definition file. Just get this file and place it there. I dont know your dist., for SuSE you can find it in the fontconfig-package.
I am displeased about the font situation as well. If there is some interest in this program I plan to get rid of the PIL-Package, wich causes all these problems, maybe the whole thing becomes pure Qt-c++ code with a new design.

Yes. You have to get the qt-bindings for python, PyQT. There is no way around within this script, believe me. :)

PIL (Python Image Library) is also needed.

In debian you must install python-qt3

if i remove the line : from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf ButtonMaker start fine. The probleme seem to be that xmlplus can't open my /etc/fonts/fonts.dtd.
The line is : <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">

All of these font files are TTF. Times New Roman has also been tried, with no success...
