It's cool to have a prepared image to test. However, we need a repeatable process. Can Andrew package this?
Copy these files (included in http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo.zip ) to the default directory... PinesoftEnhancementsForFreetype-tween.3.mcz FreeType-tween.435.mcz FreeType Plus Squeak Sans Font Pack.small.sar FreeTypeSubPixelAntiAliasing-tween.13.mcz and then filein the attached script (contents shown below).. | repository | repository := MCDirectoryRepository new. MCVersionLoader new addVersion: (repository loadVersionFromFileNamed: 'PinesoftEnhancementsForFreetype-tween.3.mcz'); load. MCVersionLoader new addVersion: (repository loadVersionFromFileNamed: 'FreeType-tween.435.mcz'); load. SARInstaller installSAR: 'FreeType Plus Squeak Sans Font Pack.small.sar'. MCVersionLoader new addVersion: (repository loadVersionFromFileNamed: 'FreeTypeSubPixelAntiAliasing-tween.13.mcz'); load. ! Cheers, Andy

It is unlikely that I will be doing any more work on FreeType, but I believe the current version is complete enough to be useful.
I have created a Pharo image with everything installed. You can find it here... http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo.zip
Included in that zip is the image + changes files, and any packages that have been installed.
You will see that there is a sar file , FreeType Plus Squeak Sans Font Pack.small.sar. This installs a ttf font (SqueakSans) as the list, code, menu font etc. I created the SqueakSans font from BitStream Vera Sans. The main reason for creating this was so that I could change the embedding flags to allow it to be legally embedded. (Bitstream Vera fonts have the flag set so that it can't be embedded, although I doubt anyone would really mind).
Having modified the flags, the Bitstream license states that the font must no longer be named 'Bitstream' or 'Vera', so I named it 'Squeak Sans'. The contents of those ttf files are embedded in the image, so it isn't necessary to distribute the font files with the image - FreeType loads the font from memory.
If you run the image, and you have all the required plugins installed, then you should see this...http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo_both_plugins_installed.JPG
If the FT2Plugin is missing then you will see this ... http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo_plugins_missing.JPG
If the FT2Plugin is present, but the modified BitBlt plugin is missing, then you should see this...http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo_bitbltPlugin_missing.JPG
(in the last jpg , there is no subpixel anti aliasing, but the difference may not be noticable unless you magnify the images)
Also in the zip, is a sar file containing the plugins for Windows and Linux... FreeTypePluginInstaller3.sar When installed, the sar will attempt to copy the plugins to the correct location on disk.
The FTPlugin is now included in the Mac VM. The modified BitBlt plugin (to enable subpixel anti-aliasing) for the Mac is available here...ftp://ftp.smalltalkconsulting.com/experimental/BitBltPlugin.v1.0.0b1.FreeTypePlus.bundle.zip
There should be enough info here to enable people to run the image and play around.
Please feel free to ask questions, and to forward this to the Pharo mailing list.
Cheers, Andy

Hi andy
For pharo we are discussing about fonts and I wanted to know the status of the truetype support.
