Interesting that the real "how-to" for getting started is in the
README.  No documentation, though, to explain the more complex font
name strings shown in the examples, and the instructions on how to
insert/paste into the window ("Sh-Insert"?) are not at all clear to me. 
The rest looks fairly straightforward, though.  Thanks.
