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.
