That is a laudable set of goals. The third part is especially
interesting
for stroke-based characters in Indic/Arabic scripts. I can help with Kannada (U0C80) and Tamil (U0B80) fonts. How was the picture produced?
Simple: bring up the morph's halo (workspace) , then click red halo button - menu, and then export -> PNG file.
I meant how were glyphs rendered in Squeak? currently 3) is supported only through rendering engine plugins. I thought Klaus had dvipng [1] equivalent working natively in Squeak.
Ah, no, as written earlier we just use existing libs/VM/plugins and some new Smalltalk code. The picture was taken from a Cuis workspace from inside the .image, as Igor wrote, no magic.
Sorry for being a bit vague at the moment ;)
