[squeak-dev] Enh to AA StrikeFonts now in Trunk

Hi Folks,

I uploaded a few enh to BitmapDejaVu to the trunk. I enhanced the
(fixed) kerning, especially for italic fonts. Now they are on par with
Cuis again.

I had a couple of small problems with MC.
- For some reason, an email was sent about Graphics-jmv.68, but not
about Graphics-jmv.67. Don't know if this matters at all.
- It is needed to run StrikeFont installDejaVu. This is supposed to be
in the postscript of both versions, but it is not run when I update from
trunk. Any help with this is greatly appreciated, as the new, nicer
breed of fonts is not activated if this is not run.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich

Great! Thank you so much!

Shouldn't be a problem, I think. This is just a server notification and
I just updated and it loaded fine.

If you're having problems with this, you could just add a method
StrikeFont class>>initialize which calls installDejaVu. If you ever need
to change the fonts again just touch the method - when MC loads a newer
version of a class initialize method it will execute it again.

I think Ken mentioned something about a huge diff not being
delivered ...

We need to update the MC version running on the squeaksource server,
which cannot deal with postscripts. I just did not dare to touch the
running system yet - this is 3.7 and I expect hurdles upgrading MC.

Indeed. Squeak-dev automatically blocks any message over 100KB which is
quite reasonable, certainly if the text of the message in itself exceeds
100KB which would be the case here. But of course we would like the
notification sent in some form. I suppose the solution is to just leave
off the diff if it exceeds some reasonable size (say 20KB?) as no one is
too likely to want to look through so much code in an email anyway.
This should probably be a per-project or even per-receiver configuration
option since the limit is largely defined by the receiver.

I've added this to my todo list, but it's rather far down at the moment,
so contributions are welcome.
