[Pkg-fonts-bugs] Bug#525510: fontforge: Pale cyan background not good for the eyes

[Theppitak Karoonboonyanan]

Package: fontforge
Version: 0.0.20090408-1
Severity: wishlist

The new fontforge is great, with neat anti-alias drawings.

However, my eyes appear to be a little color-blind after working with it
for a while. The pale cyan, yet almost white, background makes me see all
white backgrounds in other windows as pink.

While pale cyan background may be considered better for the eyes than the
bright white (I don't know the real reason behind the color choosing, just a
pure guess), I think it's better to use gray colors than eye-deceiving ones.

Or alternatively, it might be nice to be able to choose the background color.
