    samcarter submitted the

    panda

    package.

    Version: 0.1 2025-10-08

    Summary description: A package to estimate the blackness of fonts

    Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    One challenge when drawing icons or symbols can be to make them blend in with the
    surrounding text. If their line widths look good with one font, they can stand out like a
    sore thumb with another font. The panda package provides tools to automatically adjust
    line widths etc. to fit in with the surrounding font. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
