[Pharo-project] {Spam?} Re: "Real" packages.
by Bill Schwab Feb. 20, 2010

Feb. 20, 2010

Stef, Re Dolphin, class categories have long been of marginal use; I'll speak for myself on that but suspect others would agree. Packages are of course extremely useful. Method categories are also quite useful, and Dolphin allows multiple categories to be assigned to a given method. Dolphin mixes virtual categories (computed by rules) with static ones maintained by the user (and serialized as part of packages). I can easily see where OB would get quite a speed boost out of it.

[Pharo-project] WriteStream>>ensureEndsWith: removed by accident?
by Adrian Lienhard April 18, 2009

April 18, 2009

There is a test testEnsureEndsWith that calls this method. If the method is removed, the test should be removed as well... Adrian ___________________ http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/

[Pharo-project] about the closure
by StÃ©phane Ducasse April 10, 2009

April 10, 2009

hi guys we discussed a bit with marcus and we arrived to the conclusion that we want to push the changes in the stream and that we will fix the problems when they show up. Now what it means is that - we will do probably today -> produce a new image with non dirty packages -> produce some fixes to check if we can load them with MC. and make it roll :) BTW having closure is really great. the code is so much nicer.

[Pharo-project] Font for Pharo
by JÃ©rÃ´me April 3, 2009

April 3, 2009

Hi, I found the Font "Andika Basic"[2] which is an Open Source and Free- Software[1] Unicode-ready font made by the same people who brought us Gentium, the typeface for the nations. I suggest using Andika as the Pharo CI Font since it can be distributed along with Pharo and looks a little bit like Lucida Grande, the Mac-UI-font, but at the same time is more friendly and better readable[3]. According to the Andika Website, Andika is Swahili, which is spoken widely in southeastern regions of the African continent, and means "Write!". Have a look: [2] http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Andika [3] http://minusfreun.de/blog/uploads/Pharo.png JÃ©rÃ´me [1] http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=OFL

[Pharo-project] Changing the size of a font
by Alexandre Bergel April 1, 2009

April 1, 2009

Hi All, Is there a not-so-slow way to change programmatically the size of a font? I tried 'TextStyle defaultFont pointSize: 8', but I have no idea what pointSize really does. It has to do with the real font. Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.
