Yes! The windows VM has already that. The MacVM, I sent an email few months ago to explain how to do it. If you want, I can upload a Squeak 4.2.2beta1U.app but with the Pharo icons and named Pharo 4.2.2beta1U.app Then we link from the website to that VM. What do you think ?
I know there are newer MacOS VMs, but they are still in beta and for the Pharo 1.0 I think the best VM is the 4.2.2.beta1
What do you think ?

That would be a 4.2.3b1 VM since it contains the bitblt fixes that the Squeak folks wanted. I have no idea how that impacts text rendering on Pharo.
Uffff sorry John. My bad. I wanted to say 4.2.3.b1, thanks.
Also this week I will ship a 4.2.4b1 VM which is the result of some Squeak 4.0 base VM merge processing and contains the fix to enable the loading of old image segments used I guess by squeakmap?
I am not sure. ImageSegment is a full of c...and maybe it will be even removed. It was not working since a lot of time and nobody says anything. We even started to remove part of it in Pharo. And SqueakMap was completely removed. I think for Pharo 1.0 is better a well tested VM like the 4.2.3.b1 is, and let version 5 for Pharo 1.1. What do you think ? Cheers Mariano
Frankly in all of this perhaps we should consider the use of the Version 5. 0 macintosh cocoa VM running in 32bit mode?
