Hi,
In Etoys (Squeakland-OLPC version)
(TextStyle default fontArray at: 1) pointSize
is set to 5 points. This font is used in many places including titles for Projects. I can hardly see anything at this size on a 1024x768 screen.
Is this by design? Should I file a ticket in Etoys or Squeakland to get this fixed?
TIA .. Subbu

It is not by design. Filing a ticket would be nice and also checking out the places where it is used is really helpful.
Thank you!

#7233 in etoys.
The poor readability of project titles is caused by the switch to BitstreamVeraSans font and the stencil logic in ProjectViewMorph>>drawOn: method. Only Accuny looks readable with stenciling, so it is not manifest in the current Squeakland image.
The 5-point default could get pulled in by fontAt: 1 senders in SquishedNameMorph>>fontForName, StandardFileMenu>>makeFileMenuFor: and StandardSystemView>>labelHeight. Should 1 be replaced by default font index for the textstyle?
