Re: [Pharo-project] Towards Pharo 1.0

by John M McIntosh

Well the current macintosh VM has the support code in it. I can't speak for the windows or unix version. Oomeone *has* to review the alien compiler changes and confirm they are ok, Yesterday I realized there were three class vars missing from ParseNode and 1 method from MethodNode. That I have fixed. The Pharo team has to decided if they want to make Alien (or some FFI) product part of the base system, versus the current thought of only loading FFI if you understand you need it. For Sophie loading FFI in to the base app then let us build components subclassed by operating system to provide functionality faster than doing primitives, and of course modifiable by any smalltalker.

Re: [Pharo-project] UI gripes planning

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Oddly, I spent some time this AM marveling at how responsive the whole thing has become with the world redraw (or whatever it was) fix. I have the recent dev image with ecompletion and column auto focus off and fast draw enabled, and it's pretty quick "even" with the Vistary theme. That's on a machine that _should_ be quick, but with XP and loads of anti-malware, it drags a bit.

Re: [Pharo-project] Font for Pharo

It seems Andika has a higher line-spacing because it takes characters with multiple stacked unicode diacritics[2] into account which would be clipped otherwise[1]. If this is deemed not aceptable, there exists the SIL Type Tuner, which can change the line-height easily. [3] Unfortunatly I have no windows system.
