install system fonts on linux

In pharo 1.1, in the settings manager, I can "Update fonts from system"
and have access to all/most ubuntu fonts.  This works on Ubuntu 10.04
and Mint 10 (ubuntu 10.10).  With pharo 1.2.1 and 1.3, I get nothing.  
I'm left with DejuVu and Accuny.  Does anyone know a solution for this?

thanks, Jon

Please try using vms built on hudson:
https://pharo-ic.lille.inria.fr/hudson/job/Stack%20VM%20Unix/
or
https://pharo-ic.lille.inria.fr/hudson/job/Cog%20Unix/

because if VM doesn't have freetype plugin, an image will just ignore
all requests to update from system.

I did as suggested and downloaded latest cog.zip from
https://pharo-ic.lille.inria.fr/hudson/job/Cog%20Unix/
I stubbled about the PharoOneClick1.3.app directory structure.  This I
also retrieved from Hudson build:
https://pharo-ic.lille.inria.fr/hudson/view/Pharo/job/Pharo%201.3/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/PharoOneClick1.3.zip.

I'm assuming this is cog based.  But how do I tell which VM it is as I
see the executable in all one-click download scripts such as
PharoOneClick1.3.sh referencing squeak or squeakvm, yet the cog.zip file
names the executable 'CogVM'??

So I see under Contents/Linux a few .so files that are also in the
cog.zip I download.  I see that libFT2Plugin.so is in cog.zip but not in
PharoOneClick1.3.app/Contents/Linux.  So I try copying this over in the
hopes that the FT in the file name alludes to FreeType.  But no luck.

Any more ideas?  Some pointers on docs or discussion thread on how
plugins work, how to tell which vm is in use, why the FreeType plugin is
no longer included in the one-click builds, etc may be useful.

thanks, Jon

from command line type:

./CogVM <path to your image>

while running image you could evaluate:
Smalltalk vmVersion
to get the version information about VM you running.

one-click bundles contains pretty old VMs. And the plugin compiled for
CogVM won't work with them
because the version of VM interface (interpreterProxy) is different.

We're not building a one-click bundles with updated VM yet. But we
plan to do it in future.

Freetype plugin comes as a third-party plugin. And not all VM
maintainers are not including it by default.
With Hudson i made sure it is built and included into .zips, so people
could again use it.
