It's cool to have a prepared image to test. However, we need a
repeatable process. Can Andrew package this?



Copy these files (included in 
http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo.zip ) to the default 
directory...


   PinesoftEnhancementsForFreetype-tween.3.mcz
   FreeType-tween.435.mcz
   FreeType Plus Squeak Sans Font Pack.small.sar
   FreeTypeSubPixelAntiAliasing-tween.13.mcz

and then filein the attached script (contents shown below)..

| repository |
repository := MCDirectoryRepository new.
MCVersionLoader new

addVersion: (repository loadVersionFromFileNamed: 
'PinesoftEnhancementsForFreetype-tween.3.mcz');

load.
MCVersionLoader new

addVersion: (repository loadVersionFromFileNamed: 
'FreeType-tween.435.mcz');

load.
SARInstaller installSAR:  'FreeType Plus Squeak Sans Font Pack.small.sar'.
MCVersionLoader new

addVersion: (repository loadVersionFromFileNamed: 
'FreeTypeSubPixelAntiAliasing-tween.13.mcz');

load.

Hi Stef,


It is unlikely that I will be doing any more work on FreeType, but I 
believe

the current version is complete enough to be useful.

I have created a Pharo image with everything installed.
You can find it here...
http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo.zip

Included in that zip is the image + changes files, and any packages that
have been installed.

You will see that there is a sar file , FreeType Plus Squeak Sans Font
Pack.small.sar. This installs a ttf font (SqueakSans) as the list, code,
menu font etc.

I created the SqueakSans font from BitStream Vera Sans. The main reason 
for
creating this was so that I could change the embedding flags to allow it 
to

be legally embedded.
(Bitstream Vera fonts have the flag set so that it can't be embedded,
although I doubt anyone would really mind).


Having modified the flags, the Bitstream license states that the font 
must

no longer be named 'Bitstream' or 'Vera', so I named it 'Squeak Sans'.
The contents of those ttf files are embedded in the image, so it isn't

necessary to distribute the font files with the image - FreeType loads 
the

font from memory.


If you run the image, and you have all the required plugins installed, 
then

you should see
this...http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo_both_plugins_installed.JPG

If the FT2Plugin is missing then you will see this
... http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo_plugins_missing.JPG


If the FT2Plugin is present, but the modified BitBlt plugin is missing, 
then

you should see
this...http://www.zen61439.zen.co.uk/ft_pharo/ft_pharo_bitbltPlugin_missing.JPG

(in the last jpg , there is no subpixel anti aliasing, but the difference
may not be noticable unless you magnify the images)

Also in the zip, is a sar file containing the plugins for Windows and
Linux...  FreeTypePluginInstaller3.sar
When installed, the sar will attempt to copy the plugins to the correct
location on disk.

The FTPlugin is now included in the Mac VM.

The modified BitBlt plugin (to enable subpixel anti-aliasing) for the Mac 
is

available
here...ftp://ftp.smalltalkconsulting.com/experimental/BitBltPlugin.v1.0.0b1.FreeTypePlus.bundle.zip


There should be enough info here to enable people to run the image and 
play

around.


Please feel free to ask questions, and to forward this to the Pharo 
mailing

list.

Cheers,
Andy

Hi andy

For pharo we are discussing about fonts and I wanted to know
the status of the truetype support.
