Good point. So I've made it PDF/A to embed fonts. Try attached file.

Re: [Pharo-dev] default monospaced code font
by Goubier Thierry
I'll do like you because...
I only managed to install the source code pro font so far (no default
install in ubuntu) and Pharo doesn't see it (LibreOffice does). I'll
look for the source sans pro download as well.
(May explain the pdf issues if the fonts are not embedded in the pdf
document).

Re: [Pharo-dev] default monospaced code font
by Igor Stasenko
ok i looked at .xlxslsx file
at least, in google preview it looks more or less close to the truth :)
and i can say that Source Sans Pro is a winner ( to my taste ).
I like that for 'i' in it don't closes together as in 'it', comparing to
dejavu , where it does.
It reads very clear yet compact.

Adobe or the viewer? I used evince to view it, not acrobat reader. It
may point to incorrect spacing information in Source Sans Pro (I have
not the errors you see in Source Code Pro).
Who is in charge of the Source Pro font? Which typographer? Oh, Adobe
apparently. If they can't handle it properly...

i am far from blaming adobe, just wanted to say that in my viewer it does
not shows things
properly, because when rendered in pharo it don't have such problems.
so i cannot have decent comparison..

Re: [Pharo-dev] default monospaced code font
by Igor Stasenko
hmm.. i have suspicion that it is actually adobe who can't handle the font
properly..
because in some examples for source code pro font, the adjacent letters
jump onto each other.
i don't believe it is that bad (see attached)[image: Inline images 1]

the bad thing about it that without special support in editors/tools it is
going to be broken.
just for experiment try to copy and paste python code into html and see if
you can read it (and don't tell me that i should put it into <pre> tag).
It is again, because in writing, white space was invented to separate
words, not letters or statements or something else. For other things there
is punctuation.
So, as long as we're talking about text (be it source code or not), i
prefer that such rule is persisted,
and if we're talking about diagrams or some other variants of visual
programming (like in sketch),
i don't care.

Fogbugz workflow
by Ben Coman
A further query on workflow with FogBugz.
It seems the Galactic Monkey From Outer Space picks up Cases with status
'Resolved (Fix Review Needed)'.
When that is succcessful, what is the next step? Should I being
changing the status to 'Resolved (Fix To Include)' myself or is further
human review required?
Referring to https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?11835
this Case now doesn't appear in any of the Work Needed, Integration nor
Review filters.
Hence my query about the next step.
cheers -ben

one problem is that you still have to reset your password to be able to log in.
