Since I was unable to find a suitable font viewer in my distribution and I had some spare time, I wrote a font viewer in TCL/TK. Feel free to download / use and comment on it ;). Simply install TCL and TK, chmod and start the program, enjoy! Screenshot attached below.

UPDATE
Cracked it up a nodge: download
I recently switched from awesome to i3. Don’t get me wrong, awesome is awesome, but I could not bare updating my 500 line long Lua configuration file, every time a new awesome version was released. i3 on the other hand is quiet comfortable, simple and clean config file syntax, not as expendable as the one proposed by awesome, but far more maintainable (imho).
Being a former awesome user, I got fairly used to awesome’s vicious widgets and was looking for a worthy successor. A friend suggested dzen, so I composed a set of TCL scripts that piped their output to dzen. At first that seemed enough, however I really didn’t like the way dzen handled click events and I needed more flexibility. Refactoring the scripts left with a standalone TCL/TK application, tBar. I haven’t mentioned version 1.0 and 1.1 here because I felt that the application was not yet fully usable by a vast majority of people, but release 1.2 seems stable enough to be presented to the public. Grauwolf was kind enough to create an Arch Linux package build, that can be found here. Non Arch users can obtain their copy here. Please refer to the README file for install instructions and contact data. The link section below features some screenshots as well as install alternatives.

Starkit version, will run without TCL/TK and other deps
I have encountered a weird feature in Openoffice 3.2.1, which may also apply to prior versions. One of the documents I was working on failed to spellcheck the language I selected for it, e.g. I selected English, but Openoffice kept recognizing the document as German. Here is the list of things you should do if you encounter a similar issue:
It seems that the harddrive installed in the mount.at server failed today. We will keep you informed, make sure to check for updates of this post regularly!
EDIT: Currently creating backups, the other backups are 2 weeks old. Seems that the harddrive is not going to fail completely any time soon. Hardware will be replaced on Monday. Services up and running!
