working with athens balloon

Hi,

I would like to get Athens for Balloon loaded by default in a Moose
image. The idea would be to make it easy for people to migrate to this
interface, to make the code ready for Cairo.

In the process of testing it, I noticed that the text examples do not
work with StrikeFont. Please note that we are using Pharo 1.4.

I tried it by doing the followings:
Gofer new
       squeaksource: 'Athens';
       package: 'ConfigurationOfAthens';
       load.
((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfAthens) project version: #development)
load: 'Athens-Morphic'.

And then:
AthensTextRenderTest test1.

The problem seems to be caused by a missing method: StrikeFont>>getPreciseAscent

@Igor: Is this a missing method, or is it something else? Would it be
difficult to fix this?

Cheers,
Doru

normally you will not have to migrate except if you want to break the layering of athens and/or
if you want to use cairo hyper specific features.

Again Athens provides an API and Morphs should be migrated to use this API.
so as a transition period each morph should get its drawOn: method rewritten as a drawOnAthens:

Then you as a Morph user you do not have to change anything.

In general the font model has to be totally rewritten.
