Re: [Pharo-users] How to create a red box with text in a big font?

Is FreeType activated in your Settings? Hilaire Le 04/09/2014 15:27, Tim Mackinnon a écrit :

Hi guys - I’m a bit stumped on how to create things in big text with a set background colour. I thought I understood - but it just doesn’t seem to work. I was thinking I could create a container morph, set its background colour (which works), and then put a StringMorph inside it with a set font. This last bit I can’t get to work - I can do bold, but not a bigger font size. I’ve tried different things but am missing the magic sauce - can someone spot my mistake? Below, I’ve tried using a font name that I can see in the Pharo settings dialog but it doesn’t work? I also tried using LogicalFont with no success either.

tMorph := StringMorph new. font1 := LogicalFont familyName: 'Arial' pointSize: 24.

tMorph contents: 'Hello World'; fontName: 'Open Sans' size: 24; emphasis: TextEmphasis bold emphasisCode.

bMorph := Morph new color: Color red; addMorph: tMorph.

bMorph openInWorld.

Tim
