<p>Hi Eric,</p>

<p>> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I can't seem to find MorphInspector in a current (5.3 here) image. Is this a separate package?</span></p>

<div>MorphInspector, FormInspector, and a bunch of other small new improvements to the inspector framework have arrived in the Squeak Trunk just a few months ago! See

<div>> <span>I find the whole relationship between a Text and TextStyle a bit confusing, especially where it comes to setting Fonts. It appears that there are lots of different "kinds" of Fonts, and there's a good amount of indirection so it's difficult to
determine which kind of fonts (StrikeFont? TTFont?) "live" and how to see what's available and pick programmatically. Is there a good primer somewhere on Text/TextStyle?</span></div>

<div><span>These are good questions others can probably answer better than I could do.</span></div>
<div><span>This is all I can tell you:</span></div>
<div>
<ol style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li><span>Font rendering in Squeak is difficult and the default font (DejaVu Sans) appears to be the only one that looks kind of nice in all sizes. I almost never choose a different font.</span></li><li><span>To change the font in a Text, use something like:<br>
<div>'foo' asText</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span>addAttribute: (TextFontReference toFont: (StrikeFont</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span>familyName: 'Darkmap DejaVu Sans'</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span>pointSize: 20));</div>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span>openAsMorph</div>
</span></li></ol>
</div>
<div><span><br>
</span></div>
<div><span>> <span>Also -- how can I disable editing of a TextMorph?</span></span></div>
<div><span><span><br>
</span></span></div>
<div><span><span>See TextMorph >> #readOnly: or also Morph >> #lock to disable any interaction.</span></span></div>

for displaying graphics in an inspector, have a look at MorphInspector (screenshot) or FormInspector (pixels). Custom interactive fields are not (yet?) supported, but in theory, you could subclass Inspector and override the relevant<span id="gmail-m_1857641931170179193ms-outlook-android-cursor"></span>
toolbuilder methods. <br>

Regarding to your second question - why don't you use a TextMorphs? The composition of different formatting styles applied to a string is just what makes up a Text</div>

<div>Aha, yes, I think I've looked into this before. I find the whole relationship between a Text and TextStyle a bit confusing, especially where it comes to setting Fonts. It appears that there are lots of different "kinds" of Fonts, and there's a good amount
of indirection so it's difficult to determine which kind of fonts (StrikeFont? TTFont?) "live" and how to see what's available and pick programmatically. Is there a good primer somewhere on Text/TextStyle? Also -- how can I disable editing of a TextMorph?
