Now that we're talking of fonts. I wonder how difficult would be to support emojis on Pharo and if that could be solved at the font level. They have become part of day to day conversation and would be really good to show them in things like sentiment analysis. Cheers, Offray On 30/08/21 2:59 a. m., Guillermo Polito wrote:

I've been bothered by the assignement operator (:=) and the way the colon and the equal sign aren't verticaly aligned when coding in Pharo. So I began a quest to find a pharo-friendly font were the colon and equal sign are aligned. Turn out most monospaced fonts don't qualify but I did find the following fonts:
* Fira Code (https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/fira-code <https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/fira-code>) has a := ligature that doesn't work in Pharo.
* Iosevka extended (https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/iosevka-extended <https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/iosevka-extended>) also has a := ligature that doen't work in Pharo.
* Mononoki (https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/mononoki <https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/mononoki>) has the two characters properly aligned but I dislike the appareance of that font. The @, in particular, looks like it comes from a low-resolution terminal from the early '80s.
* Fantasque Sans Mono (https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/fantasque-sans-mono <https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/fantasque-sans-mono>) has perfectly aligned colon and equal sign and moreover has a nice informal look.
So, Fantasque Sans Mono is now my favorite font for coding in Pharo ð.
