Environment Font Questions

Hi, could someone recommend a default that I can use instead of the default image's font? The current font is simply too small and causing eye strain.

Thanks in advance,

-Conrad

Re: Environment Font Questions

Re: [Newbies] Environment Font Questions I have a similar question. I tried installing “FreeStyle” but I’m not sure if I know how to use it because I still don’t get any nice Windows fonts in Squeak.

Re: Environment Font Questions

Hi, after you installed the FreeType stuff, you should be able to go to the

World menu -> appearance... -> system fonts -> default text font

Once you get there, you should be able to select the font you want to use. Next, you'll need to "save and quit" from your current image. Now, restart Squeak using the previous image. At this point, I'm not seeing any changes in the fonts and it's simply displaying the original font.

Re: Environment Font Questions

Hi, I have visited the following page:

http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5984

This is a good font but I haven't been able to duplicate it being the some of the preferences on the above page don't exist in my version. Thus, I'm wondering if this on applicable in 3.10 instead of 3.9.

Re: Environment Font Questions

Hi Richard, I wasn't able to use my installed fonts and I didn't here back from anyone on the list in that regard. However, after playing around a bit, I was able to increase the font size by doing the following:

From "Preferences Browser":

a) select "enabled" tinyDisplay

b) select "enbaled" tinyDisplay

From "World Menu":

a) save the image

b) reopen the window on the desktop

because the font size will not take effect.

Good luck,

-Conrad
