First of all I have to say that I really like the idea behind Pharo - especially the "Pharo wants to help people invent the future" one! I managed to find where to lodge issues but where should one submit questions, ideas and/or suggestions?
This is the right place.
I am not a bit fan of mailing lists so I was wondering if the mailing list will be available from Nabble? Since Google Code is used why not simply use Google Groups?
There is http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.pharo.devel which allows you do read the mailing list as an RSS feed.
The Pharo image already has a lot of UI improvements over the default Squeak image but I still think that the default (and only) font is an ugly font. The font in Ramon's customized Pharo image is a little better but his font is too big. Since the windowing looks like a Mac why not use a nice font too? Anyway, a nice default font would be nice.
Absolutely. There will be a good set of default fonts in version 1.0. Its on the todo list. Please also note that you can use other fonts than the one Ramon suggests in another mail. We have FreeType integrated so you have access to all your nice subpixel AA fonts (select: world menu->System->Preferences->System fonts)! Cheers, Adrian
