On Mac, I like the following "special" configuration with Lucida Grande and Monaco: font := LogicalFont familyName: 'Lucida Grande' pointSize: 10. codeFont := LogicalFont familyName: 'Monaco' pointSize: 9. codeFont realFont instVarNamed: 'cachedAscent' put: 12. codeFont realFont instVarNamed: 'cachedHeight' put: 15. titleFont := LogicalFont familyName: 'Lucida Grande' pointSize: 10. Preferences setListFontTo: font. Preferences setMenuFontTo: font. Preferences setCodeFontTo: codeFont. Preferences setButtonFontTo: font. Preferences setSystemFontTo: font. Preferences setWindowTitleFontTo: titleFont. Note, I manually tweak the font description of Monaco to decrease the line height (don't know why it is that high by default). With the above, it looks more like in TextMate for example. Adrian On May 21, 2009, at 10:55 , Hilaire Fernandes wrote:
Yes, anythinks related to look'nd feel and overal design in Pharo could help a lot to make people to LOVE Pharo or to RUN AWAY.
Regarding fonts, I found myself sharing the point previously expressed there: -Dejavu Sans for all but code -Code with Dedavu mono
The issue about Freetype efficiency, related to submorph damage code related previsouly, is of equal importance.
If the user experience is ungood -- slowness -- people will RUN AWAY.

Hi guys
on one hand we should have a good default for fonts - default means ok for license and work on platforms....
Now I would LOVE to get a list of cool combination of fonts even if they are proprietary.
So I hope that I woke the designer in you :) Send snippets in the following forms that we can impress girls :)
font := LogicalFont familyName: 'DejaVu Sans' pointSize: 10. codeFont := LogicalFont familyName: 'DejaVu Sans Mono' pointSize: 9. titleFont := LogicalFont familyName: 'DejaVu Serif' pointSize: 11.
Preferences setListFontTo: font. Preferences setMenuFontTo: font. Preferences setCodeFontTo: codeFont. Preferences setButtonFontTo: font. Preferences setSystemFontTo: font. Preferences setWindowTitleFontTo: titleFont.
