Hi Eric,<br>
<br>
This message is again with cc to you. I hope you get it this time
(as I just said in a separate message, I cleared the "nodupes" mail
list option for all subscribers, hoping to solve this lost messages
problem).<br>

<div>Juan, just so I'm clear on this: when I boot up a fresh
Cuis image, it's already using VectorGraphics to display text
in the system? I'm asking because I was working in Squeak last
week for a couple of days, then opened up Cuis and for
whatever reason felt that the text looked so much crisper in
Cuis. I was kind of surprised.</div>

<br>
The fonts in Cuis are drawn with BitBlt, with the
anti-aliasing-text-with-BitBlt technique I developed many years ago
and was adopted by Squeak and Pharo. But the glyphs were built
rather recently. That's maybe why they look better. Rounded window
corners and gradients also look better in Cuis, because I made them
so. Still they are drawn using BitBlt.<br>
<br>
Still, try the included TrueType fonts (drawn using VectorGraphics
as I said in the message Phil was kind enough to forward again).
They look great.<br>

<div>As for the rest of it, sounds good. I might make a
changeset where there is a single method that can load a
single font into the system from a filepath. At the moment it
seems like you can only pass a directory.<br>

<br>
Yep. That would be a nice contribution.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

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>
> 2. What is the status of Morphic 3 and vector
graphics?<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>
