Lost menu for adding new font sizes
 
|
There was a question on Stack overflow regarding this: And I was going to reply to simply use the font menu to add a new size. This is what that used to look like:  Ugly, maybe, but functional. But this menu is gone, you now get a font dialog, which is missing the option to use an arbitrary size. Can we bring that back? - Bert - |

The nice thing about the font dialog is you can actually see a sample of what you're selecting. With the menu, not. From a UI perspective, it seems like a more-complete dialog would be better -- one dialog which not only allows preview and selection, but also the loading/addition of new fonts..?

The dialog shows an exact sample of 26 letters and 10 numbers the user can see prior to "Apply"ing the font. >> From a UI perspective, it seems like a more-complete dialog would be better -- one dialog which not only allows preview and selection, but also the loading/addition of new fonts..? >> >> >> On Thu, Mar 27, 2014 at 4:21 AM, Bert Freudenberg <[hidden email]> wrote: >> There was a question on Stack overflow regarding this: >> >> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22604477/how-do-i-make-really-large-text-in-smalltalk/22682974#22682974 >> >> And I was going to reply to simply use the font menu to add a new size.

When you display the font names there in the font itself, that makes sense, but not for the sizes. Regarding the chooser dialog, yes, it misses the possibilty to select arbitrary sizes.
