I'm very much enjoying FreeType release! My Squeak has never looked better.
How do I ask it to refresh the font list. I had a number of installed fonts in Windows and it was slow to render the menus. Since I don't really use hardly any of the fonts I had installed, I removed them from Windows. I thought restarting Squeak would do it since FreeType scans the fonts on image startup. It didn't work, so I reinstalled from a base image. I presume there is a way to force the rebuild of the installed font list?
They should be removed on image startup, but there is a bug that prevents this. I've fixed it in the latest version on squeaksource.
To manually refresh you can evaluate... FreeTypeFontProvider current updateFromSystem
Thanks for reporting this problem. Cheers, Andy
Rather than try to describe everything, and anticipate every question in advance, I would rather wait to see how people get on with installing/using
it,
and then update and improve the documentation accordingly. So, if you have problems, then please let me know; and if you have success then that would
be
nice to hear about too
