additional font size?

Hi!

Apparently, the 1.2 image contains only the size 7, 9 and 12 for Bitmap DejaVu Sans. Can we get additional font sizes? Are there a vectorial font police supported in Pharo? I would like to be able to give any arbitrary font size.

Cheers,
Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,
Isn't it possible with true type fonts ?
you can load them from the setting browser or directly with:
FreeTypeFontProvider current updateFromSystem

You could load 'DejaVuBitmapFonts' from SqueakSource 'DejaVu'.
You then get size 8,9,10,11,12,14,17 and 22.
These also work on Cog.

Ok, I will check.

Indeed, this would probably go well with Mondrian.

Is there a way to obtain DejaVu Sans lower than 7?

"Reasonable is what we are accustomed with."

Alain, maybe we can add a buttton or something like that in the settings, that just runs the gofer script to load those fonts?

Suppose you can see "To download DejaVU Sans between 5 and 24 click here"   or something like that in the fonts configuration.

Once again, I suggest to include such package in the dev image. It is also useful for Demos.

Hi Mariano,
see http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2986
My position is that we should remove acuny and load some of the DejaVu
fonts in the core
in order to make the demo mode working for every one.
Now, yes, a loader can be added in the setting browser.

I can't do it now.
If someone wants to make it, it's pretty simple, just look at
GraphicFontSettings class>>standardFontsSettingsOn:

standardFontsSettingsOn: aBuilder
<systemsettings>
     (aBuilder group: #standardFonts)
         label: 'Standard fonts' translated;
         target: StandardFonts;
         parent: #appearance;
         order: 4;
         with: [
             (aBuilder launcher: #updateFromSystem)
                 order: 1;
                 target: FreeTypeFontProvider;
                 targetSelector: #current;
                 description: 'Update available fonts by scanning the
current system';
                 script: #updateFromSystem;
                 label: 'Update fonts from system' translated.
....


Cheers
Alain
