[silpa-discuss] Review of Webfonts work

[Vasudev Kamath]

Hi Nitin,

A first set of review on webfonts module. I've forked it to
Project-SILPA and did some pep8 clean up please sync it with your work
and please start pushing to this repo parallely.

I was reading through the code and I've some suggestions about text.py
and fonts.py. I know these files are required to give information from
fonts but I don't agree with having them as python files rather I would
use some simple configuration files. People who might want to use the
extension without python knowledge will be in trouble if we ask them to
write information in python.

Make sure these configs are passable to extension rather than part of
extension. Preffered format will be one used by ConfigParser which is
more like INI file. or yaml or other simple format can be used.

One more thing will be language range this is known thing as per Unicode
standard and can be dropped from config file.

When handling large number of fonts something which came to my mind was
writing this configuration files for fonts it will be really tedious
task. Some basic information about font can be extracted from font
itself using fontforge python binding we need to have a look at this
alternative.

@Jishnu and @santhosh please share your thoughts

Best Regards
