Hi Tim,

If you have time, what is "the font stack" in Squeak?

I know via the font import tool that 'something' is stored in image.
how do we view that something?

The TTC stack....is that the intermediarry between the in image font something and the tools that want to use it?

Thx for your time






I am really not familiar enough with it all to say anything definitively, and I don't know as much about fonts generally as I should. My understanding is that the "normal" fonts are StrikeFonts, which is a bitmap font format (I think?) The TTC stuff is a kind of extension of the default font management classes, but I'm not exactly sure how they fit together. As you've probably found, poking around those classes and trying to piece together what's happening takes a lot of time. Sorry if this is not much help!
