   The DvTitler-Plugin is a simplified version of Dv Titler which works
   with kino's plugin engine. The image shows the user interface, where
   you can control the main attributes of the title.

   Title editor

   Both foreground and background colors support alpha channel
   (transparency or opacity). The pad size is the space around the title
   (like the cell padding in HTML tables). If the background have some
   opacity (alpha > 0) and pad size is bigger that 1, the background will
   be filled with the background color.

   The initial position is where the title will appear initially. If the
   final position have a different value than No Change, the title will
   move between the initial to the final position, the number of frames
   you selected in kino's frame FX dialog.

   Ah, I was forgeting... It is fast!

  Internals

   Curently this plugin is in an experimental, beta state. Almost
   all the functionality is working but there could be some issues. It is not
   using X rendering, but renders directly in the image frame using
   [2]Pango for international text layout and [3]FreeType font rendering
   engine. It searches for the fonts using [4]fontconfig. All of these are
   readily available on a GNOME2 system. It does not work with fonts not
   supported by freetype2.

  Requirements

   libgnomeui-2.0 is the primary dependency since the UI uses a GNOME font
   selector and GNOME requires all the other dependencies including a
   mostly working fontconfig system.
