[Pharo-project] Fonts in Pharo By Example
It would be great to have a section in PBE2 about fonts. I find them very confusing - TrueType, FreeType, Logical, etc. Understanding how they're handled in Pharo requires background knowledge, and an overview and a few specific examples could really do some good.

If somebody explain it It would be great. I always wanted to read something on fonts but unfortunately I feel a bit alone on the writing side This is why I love the attitude of sven to produce doc. Stef

Thanks, Gary! That actually solved an immediate problem I was dealing with :) And I'm hoping a font guru will take a deeper cut for us ignorant masses ;) -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Fonts-in-Pharo-By-Example-tp4664406p4664664.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
