But a quick hack to see if you like the results is in #processHorizontalMetricsTable:length: change the line: glyph advanceWidth: entry nextUShort. to make it a bit larger: glyph advanceWidth: entry nextUShort * 1.1. Then, World / Preferences... / Load all TrueType Fonts I think with this it actually looks closer to the Smalltalk-76 screenshots you can find on the web. You can try other factor to enlarge the advanceWidth. Most likely, best result would need a different factor for each letter. If you really want it, we can do it.

The sloped lines in most glyphs gives it a special look. What they found was that this actually made it harder do tell a glyph from another, as you say. Later it was abandoned. I am aware of its limitations. But it is of historical significance. I think it is nice to have it around. </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- GNU Dr. Geo <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drgeo.eu">http://drgeo.eu</a> <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blog.drgeo.eu">http://blog.drgeo.eu</a></pre> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Juan Vuletich <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.cuis-smalltalk.org">www.cuis-smalltalk.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/jvuletich">https://github.com/jvuletich</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/juan-vuletich-75611b3">https://www.linkedin.com/in/juan-vuletich-75611b3</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://independent.academia.edu/JuanVuletich">https://independent.academia.edu/JuanVuletich</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Juan-Vuletich">https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Juan-Vuletich</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://patents.justia.com/inventor/juan-manuel-vuletich">https://patents.justia.com/inventor/juan-manuel-vuletich</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://twitter.com/JuanVuletich">https://twitter.com/JuanVuletich</a></pre> </body> </html>
