Re: [Pharo-project] How to use freetype?

Try LogicalFont familyName: 'Arial' pointSize: 24 Regards, Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Igor Stasenko" <siguctua@gmail.com> To: "Pharo Development" <Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr> Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 1:19 PM Subject: [Pharo-project] How to use freetype?

I feel a bit confused.

I want to do something as easy as:

font := Something fontByName: 'Arial'.

but the problem is that i cannot find anything like that in freetype.

There is FreeTypeFontProvider fontFor: aLogicalFont familyName: familyName

but i puzzled, why it needs a logical font and why i should create it?

Is there a general way to programmatically say: give me font 'Arial' pt size 9, or nil, if font cannot be found?
