This is great - I’m pleased we can get fixes like this (and keen to get passed that font issue which was driving me crazy).

A small related question - how do ensure we get fixes from sub projects considered too? I’d really like to see: https://github.com/pharo-ide/Calypso/pull/451 as it’s annoying not being able to move methods between classes. There are a few other Calypso gems in there too (and quite a few more to fix).

I worry that having all these sub-projects makes it a bit complicated to get them included?

No problem - it’s a bit early to tell if it’s the same as before  - my sense is that it’s slightly improved. I had that 7.0.3 image in light use for 3-4 hours before I noticed it. In 7.0.2 it would happen within 5-20 mins.

I deliberately loaded Mirage as I recalled it was the catalyst before, and I think this might still be the case - but I’ll continue to use this setup to give more details.

Do we re-open the previous issue and our feedback there?

I am afraid we will need to give more love to it.

We need a proper solution, hacking it is not working. We will have to refactor implementation and modify the users.

It is not that we are lazy (that we are) but also it is ugly and full of magic numbers. 

But we will win, we must win! 

Thanks again for the report!

Thanks a lot, founding the issue is important.

For sure I missed some other users of freetype doing the same!!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news - but 7.0.3 on OSX still has the font glyph issue (see how my menus have started to go) - saving my image has fixed it (for now). I do have Mirage loaded in my image ( the latest version, and I was showing you guys how that seems to stress it a bit more).

Somebody should just decide that new version needs to be to back ported. 

Who is the somebody that would decide? If we have to live with Pharo 7.x for the next year (possibly a bit less) - some of the UI fixes would be much appreciated, particularly if its easy to do.

Perhaps if we do a 7.0.4 we might do that?

Tim

p.s. 7.0.3 definitely doesn’t fix the font glitch (sadly), and Guille’s fix cause my image to deadlock for 3-5 minutes when I see it (which might actually be helpful - is it could conform a specific type of problem)

Question: Can't we use some platform facility for renderering text on a surface instead of using FreeType?
