how to install (cyrillic) fonts on OSX?

michal-list

hi -

I must be missing something obvious: how do I import OSX fonts into
squeak (so that I can display eg. cyrillic text)?

I am running the latest trunk image, and have tried with and without
the "modified bitblt plugin" (at
ftp://ftp.smalltalkconsulting.com/experimental/BitBltPlugin.v1.0.0b1.FreeTypePlus.bundle.zip)
but the system fonts never show up in worldMenu > appearances > system fonts,
and I cannot find a way to import them so that they appear there.

Any hints?

Hello,

Squeak 4.1 and the latest trunk support Russian language as well, so you just need to import a proper Cyrillic font.
For example in my projects I use LiberationMono fonts (https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/).
You could import fonts by drag&drop to your image and then change your locale to 'ru'.

Locale switchToID: (LocaleID isoLanguage: 'ru').

Check the working with:

| label |
label := (StringMorph contents: 'Руссский язык') font: ((TextStyle named: 'LiberationMono') fontOfPointSize: 16) emphasis: 1.
label openInWorld.

Regards,
Nikolay
