Its website says that "Skencil is implemented almost completely in Python, a very high-level, object oriented, interpreted language, with the rest written in C for speed."
The software is now in version 0.6.16. It has versions compatible with GNU/Linux on i386, Alpha, m68k, PowerPC and Sparc, with FreeBSD, with Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 2.7, with IRIX64 6.4, and with AIX.
Developers are now working on port to GTK, a multi-document interface, and a multi font, fully integrated multi line text.
Each Skencil font database file can be assigned any base name, but must have the extension ``.sfd''.
A detailed discussion of Skencil's sfd font database files (their format and data content) and the config.py file is beyond the scope of this "Quick Installation" document.
Common Skencil paths are /usr, /usr/local or /usr/local/skencil.
Skencil, formerly called Sketch, is a free software vector graphics editor, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
Its first public version, Sketch 0.5.0, was released on October 31, 1998.
As claimed on its website, "Skencil is implemented almost completely in Python, a very high-level, object oriented, interpreted language, with the rest written in C for speed."
