changing fonts

I'd like to try a different font, at least for the edit pane in the
browser. When I select appearance...system fonts...default text font
from the World menu, I see fonts from Accuat to ComicSansMS ... only
13 fonts. How do I get to fonts after ComicSansMS?

Hi Mark.

You need to install them first. Download a font from somewhere (e.g. a .ttf file), and select it in Squeak's "file list" tool. You can then install the font and start using it.

Re: changing fonts

I had no idea you could install a TTF!!!

On the other hand, the FreeType package makes pretty good looking fonts and gives you access to the fonts loaded on your computer...at a steeper memory price, I think.

I'm not sure what the difference is between loading a TTF as described and using FreeType, but, for example, a 9 point Verdana using FreeType is about the same size as a 12 point Verdana loaded manually.

BTW--anyone know how to uninstall a font loaded from the file list?

Thanks! That worked.

Under Appearances...System Fonts..., which menu item controls the text in the browser edit pane? I thought it would "code font...", but that didn't change it and neither did "default text font...".

Re: changing fonts

After I load FreeType, I execute:

font := LogicalFont familyName: 'Verdana' pointSize: 9 emphasis: 0.

Preferences setListFontTo: font.

Preferences setMenuFontTo: font.

Preferences setCodeFontTo: font.

Preferences setButtonFontTo: font.

Preferences setSystemFontTo: font.

font := LogicalFont familyName: 'Verdana' pointSize: 10 emphasis: 0.

Preferences setWindowTitleFontTo: font.

So I am guessing (I don't remember) it is the SystemFont. ListFont controls all the upper Browser panes, though...

Re: changing fonts

Sorry...you probably had it right with code font. But the font wont change until you close the Browser and open a new one...

Ah ... thanks! Of the fonts installed by default, for me Accujen size 12 looks the best.

Is there a way to stop the "antialiasing" for TTF-Fonts? Verdana looks
great on LCDs but only if not blurred.
