* '''Gnome-print'''Before download: It adds the ability to directly print, to preview, and to generate fully internationalized PS and PDF output. At this time, one needs to install gnome-python-desktop to obtain this package (it might be known under different names, eg on debian python-gnome2-desktop).* Use your '''Spell checking''': Installing python-gnome2-extras provides the gtkspell module, which adds spell checking in the notes* '''Graphviz''', '''Inkscapeold version of Gramps''': Gramps can make nice Genealogical trees (relationship graphs).
