I found the directions for making and loading some more strike fonts into Squeak.
The largest of these are 24 points.
I could use a few basic fonts which are larger, 30+ points, for presentations.
Can anyone suggest a source for larger fonts to use with Squeak?
Andreas Raab wrote a nice utility for incorporating TrueType fonts into Squeak (you'll need access to a Win 32 box to use it) and Bernhard Pieber wrote a neat fix for a small bug in it. You'll find them on the list as:
[ENH][Win32]RE: Font Support and
[BUG][FIX]FontPlugin glyphs for CRs (was: Re: accented font support in Squeak)
Andreas' code is well commented (you might want to alter the source to give you fonts the size you require). Note that if your Squeak is running on a Windows box, you should re-name Andreas .dll _after_ you've grabbed the fonts or the spacing will be all squiffy if you use italics.
Given a Windows box, this is probably the easiest way to do it (and you can always grab more .ttfs from the Web). I think they'll generally go up to 72 point.
Steve Swerling posted some font utilities last Wednesday which might be useful.
Have fun!
