Re: Pending Pull Requests, Pressing Issues?

We would aim to add configurable menus to the font view, the character
view, and the metrics view.

I think that a successful design would look like this.

   - The theme default file can specify file names for menu overlay files
   for each of the three big views.
   - We would make all routines called from menus accessible via the
   FontForge scripting interface.
   - The menu overlay files contain an XML representation of the nested
   GMenuItem2 and GTextInfo data, including image file names and fixed
   function names. (CSV can't do nesting.)
   - At start, FontForge parses the XML into native GTextInfo and
   GMenuItem2 data, with pointers to native scripting functions and overlaid
   translations.
   - This would (initially) be disabled by default, to be enabled via the
   preference file. In the absence of a preference file, FontForge parses the
   menu system for the selected theme, and, if valid, enables dynamic menus in
   the preference file and loads the parsed menu system. Otherwise, it uses
   the existing static data.
