hi there,
sorry for the noob question but I see pharo has freetype in the image but it's only accuny font among options. Shouldn't freetype read the fonts on the system and offer those too? thanks, sebastian _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project |

And if you get tired of setting your fonts individually, you can set them all at once:
font := LogicalFont familyName: 'Andika Basic' pointSize: 10. codeFont := LogicalFont familyName: 'DejaVu Sans Mono' pointSize: 9. Preferences setListFontTo: font. Preferences setMenuFontTo: font. Preferences setCodeFontTo: codeFont. Preferences setButtonFontTo: font. Preferences setSystemFontTo: font. font := LogicalFont familyName: 'Andika Basic' pointSize: 11. Preferences setWindowTitleFontTo: font. Just replace the font names with those of your choice!

great script thanks!
hey Pharo project already has an official blog? I
mean, I image how good this simple things would help to propagate the pharo
ideavirus when posted in cool posts by a team of developers. Ideally a team of
authors with a an editor (to filter possible misconceptions about pharo project
policy) could do good stuff a lot more fun than manuals and
FAQs.
I'm happy to see that pharo has a lot to be a
winner
cheers,
sebastian

Hi sebastian
So far we only have the web site and the code.google site. I'm not really a blogger (I'm writing too much other stuff --- soon you will see :). But if somebody would like to have a blog I would happily read and comment. > I'm happy to see that pharo has a lot to be a winner I can start now :) My personal wish for pharo is not really to win but to make itself in a clean, lean robust new invention of Smalltalk. I stress invention here because may be it will not be 100% Smalltalk but a Smalltalk with better stuff: first class variables, better MOP who knows. Anyway thanks for your nice words.

I kind of like the idea, but I'm not sure what the UI would look like? Is it the option of choosing the same font for multiple purposes that is attractive?
I also do something like: Preferences addBooleanPreference: #ScanAtStartup categories: #(FreeType) default: false balloonHelp: 'select to rescan the font folder during startup' . Along with: FreeTypeFontProvider>>startUp: resuming Preferences ScanAtStartup ifFalse: [^self]. resuming ifTrue:[ self current updateFromSystem] Just so I don't have to wait for it to scan my font folder during start up each time. So...I guess I managed to figure out SOMETHING about Preferences, but I don't know how to add other UI elements like radio buttons, drop down lists, etc... which would be useful in this case. If it is really something that you think would be useful, I'll give it a shot if anyone can point me towards some Preferences examples that would be similar, otherwise, I'll just keep loading my "Personalization" package that, upon loading, executes "Personalize fonts"!

Not necessarily just the same font name but as with the UI themes a group of settings that work well together. You could predefine in some script themes like "large", "small", "fixed width", "50+" ;-) and then select them from the preference panel just like you select the UI theme.

Oh...I get it!
What would be nice about Fonts (unlike window appearances), is that you could EASILY define your own custom themes as well, just by saving your current settings. Then you could save them somehow for re-use when the next version of the image came out! Again, this would be hard for many things, but easy for fonts!

Actually I was thinking simple :)
I had in mind a well writen blog post with that script, talking how cool and fun the environment is with those and maybe mentioning why good UI helps do better software. Just that could be teasing about pharo to an outsider. Of course the a blog should be for branding and well indexed (a nice sitemap could do it). Better branding always help and it means valuable actions that sometimes are beyond the image ;) best, sebastian > -----Mensaje original----- > De: [hidden email] > [mailto:[hidden email]] En > nombre de Michael Rueger > Enviado el: Sunday, March 01, 2009 15:43 > Para: [hidden email] > Asunto: Re: [Pharo-project] changing default font > > Rob Rothwell wrote: > > And if you get tired of setting your fonts individually, > you can set > > them all at once: > > we should add something like that as font themes to the preferences? > > Michael > > > > > font := LogicalFont familyName: 'Andika Basic' pointSize: 10. > > codeFont := LogicalFont familyName: 'DejaVu Sans Mono' > pointSize: 9. > > Preferences setListFontTo: font. > > Preferences setMenuFontTo: font. > > Preferences setCodeFontTo: codeFont. > > Preferences setButtonFontTo: font. > > Preferences setSystemFontTo: font. > > font := LogicalFont familyName: 'Andika Basic' pointSize: 11. > > Preferences setWindowTitleFontTo: font. > > > > Just replace the font names with those of your choice! > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > [hidden email] > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project |

Good idea.
We can set up a blog on the Pharo web site. Will add this to my todo list...
