Apply the .cs in the following email to your copy of VMMaker and also
build the truetype plugin:

http://n4.nabble.com/Fwd-Pharo-project-New-Pharo-based-on-core-10309-with-antialiased-fonts-td107050.html#a107071

The truetype work was done by Andy Tween. Googling for him, truetype,
plugin, and VM should find a bit more information.

Thanks Bryce!!! would be cool to have the "official" Linux VM for Pharo 1.0 release with this feature.

I've built one here��http://lolgzs.free.fr/pharo/Squeak-3.11.3.2135-src-pached.tar.gz with FT2Plugin and the patched��bitlbt.

Excellent!!!���� do you know if this vm has the "Gnuification"�� ???

I saw an email from Adrian in VM maling list saying he has problem with that.

��

If someone can test it on another machine ...

I will try later (lazy to open virtual box hahah)
��

Note that I have several tests failing with this VM on RC3 image ��(but it doesn't crash, so that's far better than my previous custom VM :)
