Hi Folks

"More than 256 literals referenced.

You must split or otherwise simplify this method.

The 257th literal is: 13055 ->"x

Its funny, in one image, I have the method and all works fine.

I spun up another image for Fonts work, installed the unifont and tried to us monticello to load the package and I get that message.

The only difference I see is the installed/selected fonts.

Is this assumption of mine true?

Try evaluating "CompiledCode useSista: true" in the image that is giving you problems. Afterwards your method will compile without error.

The error that you are seeing is the result of a limitation of the traditional bytecode set used in Squeak. Eliot et al have provided the new Sista bytecode set that has a number of advantages, including this one. Squeak trunk has been using the Sista bytecode set for quite a while, but due to some glitches in the trunk update stream there are probably a few images (maybe including yours) that accidentally are using the other bytecode set.

I think this will take care of your problem, but note that if you are writing something that needs to run on older images, you may want to reorganize your method so that it does not hit the old limit for literals.
