Cuis can handle TrueType .ttf fonts, but not OpenType .otf fonts right <br>
now. Maybe you can find a TrueType version of the font you need, or <br>
maybe you can convert it. Most likely, extending TrueType support to <br>
also handle OpenType is not a big deal if you want to give it a try.<br>
<br>

<br>
With an updated Cuis setup, do:<br>
<br>
World / Preferences... / Load extra fonts "This installs TrueType and <br>
VectorGraphics"<br>
World / Preferences... / Set font... / CMU Concrete "or any other but <br>
DejaVu (that is a Bitmap Font). DejaVu Sans is also ok"<br>
If you have any FileList open, close it, and open it again if you want <br>
(FileList is not updating all the panes to use the new default font).<br>
<br>
Now all the text you see is done using instances of TrueTypeFont. All <br>
the glyphs were built using VectorGraphics. If you want to see the whole <br>
desktop as drawn by the VectorGraphics engine, evaluate:<br>
<br>
self runningWorld backgroundImage displayAt: 0@0. (VectorCanvas onForm: <br>
Display) fullDraw: self runningWorld. Display copy inspect.<br>
<br>
The high performance OpenCL implementation of the VectorGraphics engine <br>
is in the works. As I usually say at this time of the year, maybe this <br>
is the year it will become usable enough to completely replace <br>
BitBltCanvas and BitBltCanvasEngine... You can see the commits that <br>
affect <a href="http://VectorGraphics.pck.st" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">VectorGraphics.pck.st</a> in GitHub, and see that I'm actually <br>
working on it.<br>
