The beat.py should create http://www.sebastianoliva.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/beat2.png rotText's jap() should do something like http://twitpic.com/2sf9e1 (the english one is slightly different looking).
found some docs on this thread http://lists.cairographics.org/archives/cairo/2010-January/018918.html , as it seems that's a bug on our side, so I'll check out on typography.py __init__ as it seems the string gets parsed for attributes instead of relying them for pango to parse. I'll send you an API key for beat.py as well. _______________________________________________ Shoebot-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tinkerhouse.net/listinfo.cgi/shoebot-devel-tinkerhouse.net
