Hi!
I'd like to know if there is something like a FontEditor- or CharacterEditorMorph? I think I've used something like that before, but can't remember where it was.
TIA, Markus

Hi Markus, You can have my font editor, please look at http://bgaertner.gmxhome.de for additional information and downloadable files. The editor is a MVC-application. It does not work in a morphic project, but in a mvc-project it works fine (and it is almost three years old and some users were friendly enough to find some bugs. I think it is now usable without a high risk :-) )
Greetings, Boris

Unfortunately it doesn't start in my 3.6 image, the method "for:" is missing.
I just wanted to change the underscore of the helvetica font to a leftarrow - got used to it :-)

Hi, Markus,
Here's an old technique for bit-editing StrikeFont glyphs that we used in ancient days to create the custom left-arrow and up-arrow glyphs for the Comic fonts. I just tried using it in a modern image and it still seems to work:
In an mvc project, evaluate the following:
(StrikeFont familyName: 'Helvetica' size: 10) edit: $_
Use the resulting bit-editor to edit the underbar glyph. Choose "accept" from the bit-editor's yellow-button menu when you're done.
Then do likewise for the other sizes. (You'll probably want to do this for the "^" glyphs as well.)
Cheers,
-- Scott

Thank you, that worked. The next challenge is now: how do I get the new Character to be used by morphic?
I have the package "DeclarativePools" installed.

Hi, Markus,
In 3.4/5, at least, once you've edited a StrikeFont glyph using the bit-editor in mvc, the result will automatically be reflected in text using that font whether it's seen in morphic or in mvc. Any text-bearing pane that is set up to use the given font/size that you've edited will reflect your edits.
As for how the DeclarativePools work might affect this, if at all, perhaps someone else can answer that.
Cheers,
