[Pharo-project] FreeType

by Gary Chambers

Hi all. Using the latest FreeType (admittedly on a 3.9 image, though probably generally applicable) we are noticing quite a lot of cache thrash, meaning that the low-level glyph rendering is happening quite often. Really noticeable on slow machines (our deployment target has 800MHz processors). Was wondering if it might me a good idea to move the cached form rendering into a plugin (lots of bit manipulation in Squeak code loops)? We've stabilised thing for the moment by hanging onto the LogicalFonts used and modifying the real font lookup to reuse existing matches and switching to CRT mode (3 times quicker). First use of glyphs at varying subpixel positions miss the cache though. Regards, Gary.

Since a 1.0 release is likely to get attention, maybe would be wise to integrate Polymorph+TT beforehand?

[Pharo-project] KI diff package

by Pavel Krivanek

This package http://squeak.cz/public/pub/KernelImage/temp/Remove-pavel_krivanek.1.mcz contains classes and methods that were removed in the KernelImage variant with Morphic but without Etoys. It may be used as referential material during Etoys removing. KI renames most of class initialization methods so they figure here as removed ones. -- Pavel
