[gentoo-user] Does skencil work for anybody else?

[Grant Edwards]

I just emerged skencil, but it doesn't run:

   shared memory images supported
   Could not load font '-misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' for 
ruler. using defaults.
   Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/bin/skencil", line 34, in 
   Sketch.main.main()
 File "/usr/lib/skencil-0.6.17/Sketch/Base/main.py", line 148, in main
   run_script = options.run_script)

   font = self.tkwin.LoadQueryFont('fixed')
   AttributeError: Ruler instance has no attribute 'tkwin'

   
AFAICT, this is an upstream bug that has been around for almost two
years.

Does skencil work for anybody else?

You should probably be using inkscape instead. I'm not sure skencil is
maintained. 

BTW, I have the exact same problem with skencil.
