I worked on this at the Lille sprint, the reason the shift to DejaVu StrikeFonts hasn't been pushed (by me) is the BitBlt bug that Juan fixed recently, and which is not in published VMs yet. Basically, due to overflows in the primitives when dealing with alpha values, when you drag a window in Pharo the text turns partly transparent, which is not very nice. (Squeak doesn't cache the window being dragged in a Form, then bitblt that instead of redrawing the entire window, so it doesn't experience the same symptoms of the bug) If you want to use it in Core, evaluate StrikeFont installDejaVu, before new VMs with the fix included become generally available I wouldn't recommend using it by default though.

Yes, that is possible. We have the Cuis fonts integrated and can use them in the core. Like this we can also remove the (ugly) Accuny font.

Any taker?

The squeak trunk has a nice looking default font compared to pharo core (without Freetype).

Wasnt that related to some Cuis changes that were also integrated into Pharo already? Any chance we can get that too? Just curious...

Thx Torsten

The fix was submitted a few months ago by Juan, and has been in VMMaker since shortly since. AFAIK, the only offical VM including it at the moment is John's beta 5.0 VM's for OSX. I've built a version to use on Windows including it, but that's more of a private intermediate solution while waiting for an official release including all the fixes that have been made since 3.11.5 :) Cheers, Henry On 12.01.2010 00:08, Mariano Martinez Peck wrote:

Henrik do you know the state of this issue with the VMs ?

Maybe we can create an issue so that not to forget.
