Hello, I have just installed the package FreeType Plus on a Sq 3.10 beta from Damien Cassou. The UI Enhancements look very good and with the FreeType Plus fonts it is also a great UI improvement. But, whenever I set the default text font to some non default font from Squeak, the workspace turns red, with a thin yellow diagonal cross over it and an error pops up as soon as I type anything into it. The workspace is unusable from then on.
Context:
- This happens only on Mac, same test on windows does not fail. - This happens only with the workspace that you drag from the toolbar flap, if I open a workspace using Alt-k, the problem does not happen. But the workspace that you get with Alt-k does not have Shout in it, this is the only difference that I see between the two.

I think that's because you need the BitBlt plugin that is not distributed in the mac VM by default. It's in the experimental folder on John's iDisk: http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

Thanks Damien; yes, that's right. It fails when drawing an underline or strikethrough, which Shout does a lot. I have fixed this so that it will work when the modified BitBlt plugin isn't installed, but it hasn't been released yet. I have attached the fix in case you want to try it before installing the bitbltplugin Cheers, Andy

Thanks guys. I did install John's bundles and it works perfectly now. My Squeak looks dandy ;)

I could consider making this part of the VM, but I've not seen any discussion about how this bitblt change should move from experimental into the mainstream VMMaker, thus making it part of the regular build when someone builds the VM
