A scan would be needed when the image is moved to a different platform (Linux vs Win32, say). Just saying as I develop on Win for a Linux end-user application. After making the deployment image it was neccessary to load on Linux and save again to get the correct fonts. Might be different now in the latest FreeType since TextStyles are no longer used...

Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] FreeType scanning Font folders

I just removed the #startup: method, and everything still works fine for fonts ALREADY loaded...even the font selection dialog box.  Maybe just a button to rescan on demand?

Take care,

Rob
