P.S.

I had changed

TTCFont pointSizes

"The default sizes that are created when a TextStyle is created. You can add new sizes by the new-size feature." ^ #(9 12 15 24 36).

in my image _before_ importing a TrueType font.

TTCFont pointSizes

is now

pointSizes

     "The default sizes that are created when a TextStyle is created.  You

can add new sizes by the new-size feature." ^ #(9 12 15 24 36 48 60).

And the font loaded is LiberationSans

https://pagure.io/liberation-fonts

The Liberation Fonts are intended to be replacements for the three most commonly used fonts on Microsoft systems:

• Times New Roman,
• Arial and
• Courier \ New.

Hello

I am wondering how a short version of constructing a StringMorph with a particular TextStyle looks like.

With Cuis, if you have the font in the 'AdditionalFontData' directory, maybe the following?

| w nam | nam := 'LiberationSans'. w := AbstractFont familyName: nam aroundPointSize: 10. (StringMorph contents: 'Some text in "', nam, '" font.' font: w) openInHand.

I don't have your TrueType font, but the above works for the DejaVu Sans Mono font. This example appears in Terse Guide.

The version which is attached works fine.

The question is mainly

How do I replace

  (TextConstants at: #LiberationSans) fontArray at: 7

with something which directly refers to the point size?

And as a second question how do I get from the number of desired screen pixels to the closest font size?

Regards Hannes
