<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In a fully updated 3.1 image, I ´try to install a
Truetype font via ...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> "TTFontReader<BR> installTTF:
'c:\winnt\fonts\arial.ttf'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> asTextStyle:
#Arial<BR> sizes: #(24 60)"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So far, so good. However, as soon as I try to
actually put the font to use (by clicking to the System Font menu entry), I get
a "Bad BitBlt arg (Fraction?)" error as soon as the font selection menu is about
to be displayed. If I proceed, nothing happens.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, is there any other way to get Truetype fonts
into Squeak? All the methods I've tried (as described on this ML and the Swiki)
either give errors or a obsolete. Andreas Raabs TTF-to-file-in converter
produces Smalltalk code for old Squeaks &c. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Will is this font issue destined to remain my
single biggest Squeak annoyance forever?</FONT></DIV>
