Re: [Pharo-users] How to display a text with a really large font?

Don't know for sure what the maximum StrikeFont size, but for FT - Fonts you can use any (?) size: (of course, the FT/TTF-font should be in the system/image). | font1 font2 t1 t2 tMorph| tMorph := TextMorph new. font1 := (TextFontReference toFont: (StrikeFont familyName: 'Bitmap DejaVu Sans' size: 38)). font2 := (TextFontReference toFont: (LogicalFont familyName: 'Source Sans Pro' pointSize: 81)). t1 := 'this is font1' asText addAttribute: font1. t2 := ' and this is font2' asText addAttribute: font2. tMorph contents: (t1,t2). tMorph openInHand. 2015-05-04 13:23 GMT+02:00 stepharo <stepharo(a)free.fr>: > Hi > > I read the comment of TextMorph > > | font1 font2 t1 t2 tMorph| > tMorph := TextMorph new. > font1 := (TextFontReference toFont: (StrikeFont familyName: 'Atlanta' > size: 22)). > font2 := (TextFontReference toFont: (StrikeFont familyName: 'Atlanta' > size: 11)). > t1 := 'this is font1' asText addAttribute: font1. > t2 := ' and this is font2' asText addAttribute: font2. > tMorph contents: (t1,t2). > tMorph openInHand. > > but I could not get it to work. > > Now I will ask google to see if I can find an example. > > Stef > >

How to display a text with a really large font?

by stepharo

Hi I read the comment of TextMorph | font1 font2 t1 t2 tMorph| tMorph := TextMorph new. font1 := (TextFontReference toFont: (StrikeFont familyName: 'Atlanta' size: 22)). font2 := (TextFontReference toFont: (StrikeFont familyName: 'Atlanta' size: 11)). t1 := 'this is font1' asText addAttribute: font1. t2 := ' and this is font2' asText addAttribute: font2. tMorph contents: (t1,t2). tMorph openInHand. but I could not get it to work. Now I will ask google to see if I can find an example. Stef

However, having evaluated superficially the complexity of doing it with nativeboost (because too many external c struct involved in the call), I would like to see if I am better off using this wrapper. I loaded it with: Gofer it url: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/hernan/ProcessWrapper/main'; package: 'ProcessWrapper-Core'; package: 'ProcessWrapper-Plugin'; package: 'ProcessWrapper-Tests'; load. But the plugins wont load because it requires the class SmartSyntaxInterpreterPlugin and apparently this file is a part of the VMMaker.

You can just use # to filter the categories that are displayed. If you enter 'copy #i' than you will only get implementors. Still you can create your own custom searches that use regex.

The same as Phil mentioned, but with Emacs on Debian Wheezy you get a lot of ^M and Emacs says this about the coding system: - -- undecided-unix (alias: unix) No conversion on encoding, automatic conversion on decoding.
