The Inbox: System-cbr.375.mcz

A new version of System was added to project The Inbox:

Okay, Bert's suggestion that I add a comment to get the postscript to run worked. Pushing this one into trunk will give us nice modern looking fonts in buttons, flap tabs, and balloon help.

Feedback would be appreciated. I went for the nearest approximation of the old font sizes, but some folks might find these to be a bit small (they work fine for my eyes, but YMMV.) We could always bring the sizes up a notch.

The previous package, System-cbr.374, can be trashed. It had the same changes, but as I didn't change the postscript, it was not run on load.

I'm running on a clean, just-updated trunk, version #10508, on a
Squeak4.0.1 from Mar 28 2010, Windows XP.

I open up a Monticello browser, and load the mcz. I'm told "Initializing
System-cbr.375" (the progress bar itself is solid white - no progress,
in other words). I watch memory increase steadily. Eventually I hit a
low space warning at ~500M usage. After that, the VM crashes:

"Sorry but the VM has crashed.
Reason: out of memory

Current byte code: 20
Primitive index: 0"

The attached crash.dmp shows my original attempt as well as a subsequent
attempt, just to make sure I could duplicate the problem.

Re: The Inbox: System-cbr.375.mcz

Weird. I have no idea why that would happen; all that code does is patch the method that sets the default fonts and run it. I used the same font that the system uses currently for code (but in a couple sizes.) It worked okay on my box, so something must be different.

What version of the image did you load that into?

I will try to find some time to look at the stack trace you supplied; thanks for going to the effort to do that, and I'm very sorry that my changes caused trouble for you.
