Hi Nicolas,

great! No wait, not so great :-(. I get an error on loading due to an Undeclared FT2Library in updateFromFileSystem or some such. This looks like mis-ordered initialization to me. Do I have write permission to that repository?

Hi Eliot, sure I added you and David as Developers, tell me if you need admin privileges.

I have some fixes for the FT2Library. I'm also hampered by the SmartSyntaxPlugin's insistence that the classes ued in its parameter specs be present in the image. This makes splitting the FreeTypePlugin from the FreeType package (something that IMO is a very good thing to do) is impossible. I may try and change SmartSyntaxPlugin to make those classes being present optional.

Yes, I have separated FreeTypeConstants which is a pre-requisite currently of FreeType, but this was vain indeed, the plugin is computing the offset of each and every ivar so requires the exact class layout for each FreeType class...

Does a missing FreeTypeConstants explains the initialization problem, or is it something else?

Hi Eliot,
seeing these 2 lines in BuildSqueak45Image.st

                "('http://www.squeaksource.com/FreeTypePlus'    5    ('FreeType')) can't load this. it is toxic to Squeak 4.5"
                ('http://www.squeaksource.com/FreetypePlugin'    8    ('Freetype-Plugin'))

that reminds me i have opened an alternate repository not toxic for Squeak 4.x :

MCHttpRepository
    location: 'http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/FreeTypePlus'
