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

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Shaping,

Please follow Documentation/GettingStarted.md. It results in a good 
folder structure, where you can have many repos with packages, in 
addition to Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev. You can follow the same structure for 
your own code. That's what I use, and it works well. There is additional 
documentation there. It was written to help you.

WRT optional packages, there are many of them, they are written and 
maintained by different people, and they do different things. You may 
not need all of them. In any case, take them one at a time. Read the 
documentation. Understand what it is for. Then load it in your image, 
and run tests and examples.

Only once you are familiar with Cuis and the packages you are interested 
on, then it is OK to "break the rules". Find whatever folder structure 
and process that works for you. And when you find trouble, most likely 
you'll know Cuis well enough to fix your process yourself, or post fixes 
to this mail list if you actually found a bug.

Cheers,
