Hi Lauren --

You don't have to adjust the glyph scale. You can also just increase the point size or use a display with higher PPI. :-) For Squeak's default "Bitstream Vera Sans" I added a "For Squeak" variant that has 1.056 extra glyph scale, which looks okay at 10.5pt (96 PPI / 100%).

You only have to adjust the glyph scale if the 0.5pt steps in fonts are not fine-grained enough for your setup. With which values are you experimenting in your setup?

Best,
Marcel

Sorry for the noise... error between keyboard and chair; I saw the note
about the pre-rendered fonts in About Squeak -> Image Fonts. Maybe we
should pop up a notice when the user tries to accept an arbitrary point
size on the pre-rendered fonts?

The Font Importer is a bit difficult to use. It isn't clear that you
_must_ use the Adjust x button to get rid of aliasing. Wouldn't it make
more sense to make that the default?
