 Description: A graphical font previewer and installer
  Gglyph is a GUI tool for managing a collection of fonts.
  .
  Gglyph can preview and display information about Type 1 fonts without them
  being registered with X.  It provides a graphical interface for
  installing fonts under X, with drag-and-drop functionality.
  .
  This is an alpha release.

GGlyph is a little program that I wrote for previewing and installing
Type 1 fonts under X.  Basically, at the moment, it's a graphical frontend
for type1inst (you can also use it as a simple viewer for Type 1 font files)
though soon it will also generate AFM files for fonts that don't have
them, as well as the necessary code for using these fonts under LaTeX
(TFM files, .sty files, and so forth...)

It's still a little buggy (and is under development, so it might remain
that way) but it shouldn't destroy your system or anything.

If nobody has any objections, I'll upload it tonight, as I have packages
right here.
