FreeType Plus / Mac

Hello,
I have just installed the package FreeType Plus on a Sq 3.10 beta
from Damien Cassou.
The UI Enhancements look very good and with the FreeType Plus fonts
it is also a great UI improvement.
But, whenever I set the default text font to some non default font
from Squeak, the workspace turns red, with a thin yellow diagonal
cross over it and an error pops up as soon as I type anything into it.
The workspace is unusable from then on.

Context:

- This happens only on Mac, same test on windows does not fail.
- This happens only with the workspace that you drag from the
toolbar flap, if I open a workspace using Alt-k, the problem does not
happen. But the workspace that you get with Alt-k does not have Shout
in it, this is the only difference that I see between the two.

I think that's because you need the BitBlt plugin that is not
distributed in the mac VM by default. It's in the experimental folder
on John's iDisk: http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

Thanks Damien; yes, that's right.
It fails when drawing an underline or strikethrough, which Shout does a lot.
I have fixed this so that it will work when the modified BitBlt plugin isn't
installed, but it hasn't been released yet.
I have attached the fix in case you want to try it before installing the
bitbltplugin
Cheers,
Andy

Re: FreeType Plus / Mac

I could consider making this part of the VM, but I've not seen any
discussion about how this
bitblt change should move from experimental into the mainstream
VMMaker, thus making it
part of the regular build when someone builds the VM
