I just emerged skencil, but it doesn't run:

shared memory images supported
Could not load font '-misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' for ruler. using defaults.
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: Ruler instance has no attribute 'tkwin'


AFAICT, this is an upstream bug that has been around for almost two
years.

Does skencil work for anybody else?
