Wow - xpaint has a snapshot feature now. Awesome.

Here's my original contribution to this cute little app:

jspath at mail.bcpl.lib.md.NOT (Webmaster Jim) suggested this:

I don't have the "Fixed 12" font in my XFree86 system, so I've patched
the earlier version to include a font that I like, Sony 16 (and Sony 24).
I don't recommend this for everyone, but including the following in the
distribution can help others get different startup fonts:

Awesome, my patch lives on 12 years later:

Drat. The 16 and 24 fonts don't show up; the original bug with Fixed 12 missing is still there. Time to dust the cobwebs and open a ticket.

However, the screen shot function works great!
