Both really interesting posts. Now...Some people reported that the Exupery Linux VM has "nicer" fonts than the standard VM, even if both use true type. Then Bryce Kampjes said in the mailing list:

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. If someone can test it on another machine ... 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 :) Laurent Laffont
