support for Croatian language

Hello,

while researching how to make fonts in Pharo display Croatian
characters, I've noticed that in

Settings --> Appearance --> Standard fonts

Croatian is not listed and I have to use Slovene (Slovenian) , so wonder
what is required in order to add 'support' for it?

Sincerely,
Gour

Re: support for Croatian language

you mean the list after enabling free type library?
that has nothing to do with Pharo, it lists the fonts present (and findable) of your system.

cheers,
Esteban

Ahh, now I got it...'language' simply denotes "demo string" and not
selecting support for the language...still, I see that it does not find
fonts installed in ~/.fonts.

Hi,

sometimes running fc-cache is needed to update the FreeTypeFonts caches of fonts.

Try just running in your terminal

fc-cache

It will list all the directories where is looking for classes and updates all the caches, It maybe take some minutes to run, but is needed if you added fonts in the different directories.

Cheers,

Pablo

Well, my fonts are already installed for some time and visible to other
apps.

It lists ~/.fonts, but Pharo tool does not see those fonts.

Is there a way to log output when I press 'Update'?

I see that it scans e.g. /usr/share/fonts, but would like to see
complete output?

Re: support for Croatian language

It seems that the directory lookup process is wrong, the directories are having less entries.

If you check the class FreeTypeFontProvider has the methods to resolve the directories.

You can change the implementation of #unixFontDirectories to add the missing directory, I will file an issue in fogbuz.

Cheers.

Which 'Update' button do you refer to?
Very generally, to add in logging... Bring up the "halos" of that
button, drilling in a few times to get to the PluggableButtonMorph
[1], then click the Debug(wrench)halo-icon and Inspect Morph.
Scroll the list to find something like a method selector, perhaps in
the 'actionSelector' variable.

Use Spotter to find that method and add a 'self haltOnce' at the top.
After [World > System > Enable halt/inspect once] click the button and
the debugger should open. Step through until you find the place you
want to add logging.

You may need to try a few combinations to find the magic combo for
your platform.

Correct. Adding my ~/.fonts solves it, but I've to install absolute path
and wonder how it should work with a relative one, iow. '~/.fonts' ?

Thank you for the tip. I'll try it to learn something new, although
Pablo answered for concrete issue.

I know that the FileLocator know home. But I do not know if it is
possible to use it via a static array and calling #asFileReference after.

Does someone know if it is possible? I tried '{temp}/myFile.txt'
asFileReference but it did not worked.
