Hello,

I have a large collection of fonts, so to be able to use them in an organized fashion with imagemagick---only the ones I want at any given time, I wrote two utilities to assist me with managing imagemagick typemap files.

These programs depend on xmlstarlet, as well as a few common perl modules.

typemap-list
http://jjfoerch.com/git/gphx/typemap-list

This one is really simple. It just lists the names of the fonts defined in the given typemap xml file. Handy for iterating over a particular set of fonts.
typemap-generate
http://jjfoerch.com/git/gphx/typemap-generate

This one is meant to do the same basic job as imagick-type-gen, but to give the user more control over what fonts to put in the typemap. It can also edit an existing typemap. It uses the perl module Font::TTF::Font to get the font name, so it seems to do a better job of getting the correct name than imagick-type-gen. Could be improved, regarding fonts that contain no english or default name, but the basics are already in place for proper language support. It doesn't support Type1 fonts yet---that's on the to-do list. This program also supports inserting <include> directives into an existing typemap.

I might as well paste the help text to give everyone an idea of how to use it:
Code: Select all
```
usage:  typemap-generate [options..] [files..]
     where files are .ttf, .xml files or `list:'.  For each ttf file,
     a `type' definition will be added to the output.  For each xml file,
     an `include' specification will be added to the output.  For `list:'
     a list of files will be read from stdin.

     options:
      -o, --output FILE   set output to FILE
      -e, --edit          modify output file instead of overwriting it
      -h, --help          display this help
```

I hope people find these programs useful. Patches and constructive feedback are most welcome.
