[Cuis-dev] Load All TrueType Fonts fails in Cuis6.0-5069; porting from VW to Cuis (addendum)

Sun May 15 12:22:49 PDT 2022

Also you probably don’t need all the packages, and maybe there’s some of
them not up to date, not sure. For my projects I do this:
  - copy .image and .changes to new files
  - start the new image
  - install new updates
  - install VectorGraphics from the FileList or from the menu by choosing a
TTF font
  - install my packages
  - save

Then I work on my packages, regularity saving them and pushing to GitHub. I
don’t install updates any more. After a while (weeks or months in my case)
I repeat the process starting from a fresh image.

Other people have different workflows, this is what works for me. I think
some people never save the image, or use an image for a very short time and
update more often.

Hope this helps,
Luciano
