[Pharo-project] Is it possible to setup Russian fonts in Pharo + Cog VM?
AFAIK, Cog VM does not allow to use system fonts. But still, is there a way to install fonts (of any type) with support for Russian symbols? ⦠Better without too much efforts like manually assigning offsets for each character :) -- Dennis Schetinin

What makes you think that? Cog should be the same as the standard VM. At Teleplace, for example, they use Cog with the NativeFontPlugin without problems.

What's the way to do this on the standard VM and how does this approach fail on the Cog VM? best, Eliot

Pharo One-Click with "classic" VM simply shows all the "native" fonts and displays russian symbols correctly if I choose, say Courier New. The same with Cog does not work: it shows only 2 fonts and even if I add system fonts using classic VM and then open that image with Cog, it refuses to show those fonts. Moreover, I found some messages mentioned that Cog does not yet support rendering of native fonts or something like that (don't remember details, sorry). Some one on russian forum said the same. Actually, it's great if I'm mistaken, but how can I make it work with russian fonts? 2011/3/1 Eliot Miranda <eliot.miranda@gmail.com>

I dont know. I need a better error report :) All I do know is that at Teleplace we have no problem using Cog wirth native fonts. It is probably a plugin issue. Do you know what the relevant plugin(s) associated with Russian fonts are in the one clock VM? best Eliot

The standard VM includes FT2Plugin by default, the Cog VM does not. In a Pharo image, that is what loads the system fonts when you click Settings -> Appearance -> Standard Fonts -> Update fonts from System. I've never heard of NativeFontPlugin before, is it something new? Cheers, Henry PS. At least on Mac, you can copy over the plugin from a normal VM, and it will work with Cog. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Is-it-possible-to-setup-Russian-fonts-in-Pharo-Cog-VM-...

Great! Dennis, this is probably information more people would want to know so could you put together a little how-to and share it on the Russian forum? ps. Does info like this need to go into http://book.pharo-project.org somewhere? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Is-it-possible-to-setup-Russian-fonts-in-Pharo-Cog-VM-...

Just discovered, I didn't reply to this message. Sorry for that. Sure, I've posted that information to RSUG mail list. Shouldn't it be "generalized" (for other languages) and documented somewhere? 2011/3/3 Geert Claes <geert.wl.claes@gmail.com>
