David,<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for the details!<br>
<br>
I was able to find what "Universes" is...<br>
But now facing another problem...<br>
<br>
I have Gentoo Linux. I have Squeak 3.9.7 and squeak-fullimage 3.8.6665.<br>
<br>
Universes says that "The package has no published release for your
squeak version" Is it the image or the VM infrastructure that causes
the problem?<br>
<br>
Questions:<br>
- Should I download another image manually? Will itt work on this
infrastructure?<br>
<br>
<tt><small>3.9-7 #1 2007. dec. 4., kedd, 20.31.26 CET gcc 4.1.2<br>
Squeak3.9alpha of 4 July 2005 [latest update: #7021]<br>
Linux tpgentoo 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 #3 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 5 18:28:56 CET
2007 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux<br>
default plugin location: /usr/lib/squeak/3.9-7/*.so<br>
</small></tt><br>
- Should I download another precompiled squeak version with its images?
(sounds bad, as the strength of gentoo is to manage packages by itself
and compile them locally...)<br>
<br>
It's getting to be complicated...I just wanted some special characters
to be displayed... :) How often does it happen that someone is forced
to change version? What about backward compatibility? I'm thinking of
migrating some of our key applications but I wouldn't like to go to a
never-ending version and download-hunt to keep it alive afterwards.<br>
<br>
//I may have to contact the gentoo ebuild maintaner of squeak and ask
to upgrade, or do it myself, however, I do afraid I can't as I'm a
SMALLTALK developer, not C :) //<br>
<br>
Thanks and sorry for the very basic questions - I've read somewhere
that this forum is just for this :) :)<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
Robert<br>

<pre wrap="">Load Andy Tween's TrueType support from package Universes. It picks up
the fonts on Unix and Windows. Haven't tried MacOSX yet.
