Although the Freetype plugin (the interface to, and user of, you call TrueType) supports using TrueType fonts, it would be nice to be able to disambiguate it from the TrueType-Fonts/Support packages, which is something different entirely: - Parser for TT-files in Smalltak, which is kind of cool. F.ex. I had a hard time deciphering the values given by the FreeType plugin primitives (at least without RTF external Manual), TTFontReader made getting understandable values directly from the font file easy :) - Glyph renderer using Balloon, which is not that cool as the resulting graphics are too weak.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] DTrace for Squeak/Pharo

by Adrian Lienhard

Now there's also a DTrace provider for the Squeak VM: http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/blog?dialog=smalltak-meets-dtrace DTrace is a powerful, kernel-based dynamic tracing framework. With the new provider one can analyze the execution of Pharo/Squeak applications. My post is an introduction that should get you quickly started. I've attached a pre-compiled VM for OS X. Hope you like it :) Cheers, Adrian ___________________ http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/

[Pharo-project] VMs for Pharo 1.1

by Torsten Bergmann

Hi Mariano, >Windows: I remember a new version 4.1 or similar that Andreas did. Last Squeak VM from Andreas is "SqueakVM-Win32-4.0.2-bin.zip" and we have an according "PharoVM-Win32-4.0.2-bin.zip" on gforge and http://pharo-project.org/pharo-download This VM is already included in the Pharo1.0 installer for Windows (EXE) but not in the 1.0 one click (ZIP). So anything we have to do for 1.1. is to use this VM in the 1.1 one click distribution. >I remember there was a problem with the windows closing or similar...but I >remember Torsten fixed that. There was no fix required and the Pharo VM is always 1:1 with the Squeak VM codebase, no need to fork. Any credit goes to Andreas. We just exchange ressources (icons, ...) - marketing you know ;) >Is that integrated in Pharo ? Yes, Pharo 1.1 can handle the close event. It is by default handled using an image side dialog. If one wants the old behavior you need EnableAltF4Quit = 1 in the Pharo.ini Attached is the Pharo.ini that is used in the Windows installer, which uses this option (which I like more - maybe because I'am used to it). >We are able to use that VM ? Yes >Torsten, where can I get a Pharo 1.1 Windows VM ? see above. Full link is http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/26814/PharoVM-Win32-4.0.2-bin.zip >does it include FreeType ? Yes >can you update the splash if necessary ;) Will do tomorrow. Remind me if you dont get it. Would be call it "1.1. RC1" first? Bye -- GRATIS fÃ¼r alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

It has gnuification, Freetype, all tests green, I use it every day :) If you want a VM from scratch, the way to go is easy_squeakvm, works well too (for me). It would be sexy to put this on the Hudson server and to measure time to run all Pharo tests with different gcc versions (it seems the version of gcc can have a lot of influence on the VM speed).

Indeed, with easy_squeakvm script you have reproducibility (all is automated, explicit svn rev. and ConfigurationOfVMMaker). May be we can "translate" easy_squeakvm to Smalltalk so we can have an EasySqueakVM package (or better name) which is cross platform.

Re: [Pharo-project] Standard input in Pharo?

by Alexandre Bergel

Maybe OSProcess can do something about that. I just tried on Mac to inspect a "(FileStream fileNamed: '/dev/stdin') readStream" Sending #nextLine to it, and entering text in the xterm triggers a loop. It seems to work for #next however. Someone tried this?
