John and everyone else, Thanks for your help here!
I used John's idea and grabbed the FT2Plugin from the SophieReader archive and my fonts look great now! Bitstream Vera Sans is much more pleasant than Accuny! :) If anyone else is trying to do the same, the reader archive has FT2Plugin inside Sophie Reader.app/Contents/Linux686/FT2Plugin I copied this to /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.10-4 I compiled SqueakVM myself. If you're using the Ubuntu packaged Squeak, this would go in /usr/lib/squeak/3.9-8 Thanks all, Robert John M McIntosh wrote: > > There is a FT2Plugin plugin buried in > > http://opensophie.org/ > > On 4-Mar-09, at 10:46 PM, Robert Roland wrote: > >> >> Hi all, >> >> I feel dumb asking this question, but I've been using the Pharo >> image mostly >> on a Mac, with the FT2Plugin installed, so I've gotten spoiled by >> having >> nice fonts in the image. >> >> I've started wanting to use my Linux desktop (Ubuntu 8.10) too, but >> there >> doesn't appear to be a Linux FT2Plugin, so I seem to be stuck with >> one font >> only - Accuny.
