Re: Is it possible to setup Russian fonts in Pharo + Cog VM?

Pharo One-Click with "classic" VM simply shows all the "native" fonts and displays russian symbols correctly if I choose, say Courier New. The same with Cog does not work: it shows only 2 fonts and even if I add system fonts using classic VM and then open that image with Cog, it refuses to show those fonts.

Moreover, I found some messages mentioned that Cog does not yet support rendering of native fonts or something like that (don't remember details, sorry). Some one on russian forum said the same.

Actually, it's great if I'm mistaken, but how can I make it work with russian fonts?

AFAIK, Cog VM does not allow to use system fonts.

What makes you think that?  Cog should be the same as the standard VM.  At Teleplace, for example, they use Cog with the NativeFontPlugin without problems.
 
But still, is there a way to install fonts (of any type) with support for Russian symbols? … Better without too much efforts like manually assigning offsets for each character :)

What's the way to do this on the standard VM and how does this approach fail on the Cog VM?

best,
Eliot
