[Pharo-project] Fixed Width Font for COG
Hey, I recently ran into the issue that I cannot use a fixed width/monospace font when working under COG. How can I include a custom font in the image? m(^_-)m camillo
Does anyone know what the proceedure is to include a new font directly in the image without plugin support? eg Issue 3809 using DejaVu Mono in the image camillo On 2011-03-11, at 15:21, Stéphane Ducasse wrote:
may be the freetype plugin is missing.

i don't think that possible because to rasterize fonts you need a renderer

i don't think that possible because to rasterize fonts you need a renderer Not sure if you misread what Camillo wrote as "import directly into image", but including additional fonts are certainly possible :)
As can be seen in the thread Damien linked in the issue, Juan did not provide any easily reproducable process for how he did it for the normal Deja Vu fonts though, so some experimentation would be necessary to achieve good results. Cheers, Henry PS: http://forum.world.st/Is-it-possible-to-setup-Russian-fonts-in-Pharo-Cog-VM-... , you can include the FT2Plugin from a standard vm somewhere Cog will find it, and it should work. Really should make this a FAQ entry :)
I would be interested in the result as well. Is there anyone working/experimenting with this? Cheers, Doru On 12 Mar 2011, at 23:54, Henrik Sperre Johansen wrote:

just copying over the plugin worked perfectly. nevertheless I think we should include the two fonts directly in the image... though I wont have time to solve this the next few weeks. basically we need to write out each character of the ascii range into an image and store the x offset of each character in an array. camillo On 2011-03-13, at 17:41, Tudor Girba wrote:

Which plugin exactly and where to copy it from? :) Doru On 13 Mar 2011, at 22:11, Camillo Bruni wrote:
