Notes

UTF-8

GutenFlash expects UTF-8 files. So for reading a file originally in iso-8859-1, please convert it before to UTF-8 in a shell terminal: 

iconv -f iso-8859-1 Reveries.txt -t utf-8 > Reveries.utf8

NameError: name 'init' is not defined

You may want to update the pygtk __init__.py file as suggested in #1718

Preferences

Create your .gutenflash.conf file: 

gutenflash --showcfg > ~/.gutenflash.conf

and edit it.

Download

Current mokoified version (ipk package and bitbake recipe): http://soft.oralux.net/gutenflash/
