I keep on crashing my VM based on using Athens to render fonts. Some things work; some don't. It is a mystery.

I managed to install the TrueType fonts. I'm using StringMorph in an AthensWrapMorph, so it is rendered in Athens. When I do the following, it seems to work fine:

string := StringMorph contents: 'HelloWorld' font: (LogicalFont familyName: 'Arial' pointSize: 20).
string color: Color white.
string position: 100 @ 100.
self addMorph: string.

When I changed it to 30, it initially crashed. Now it doesn't crash, but the rendering is the same as for 20. When I change it to 40, it crashes. When I add two strings, one of size 20 and one of size 30, it crashes. All of these things render fine outside of Athens (i.e., I just open them in the world).��

What am I doing wrong?

What platform you running, and can you share your code?

Following runs well on my image (mac):


| m string |
m := AthensWrapMorph new.

string := StringMorph contents: 'HelloWorld' font: (LogicalFont familyName: 'Arial' pointSize: 20).
string color: Color red�� .
��
m addMorph: string.

string := StringMorph contents: 'HelloWorld' font: (LogicalFont familyName: 'Arial' pointSize: 30).
string color: Color green�� .
��
m addMorph: string.

m openInWindow
