[Moose-dev] Re: [Pharo-project] font installer & free type fonts

Hi , Doru

i have only one question: why you put font binary data into compiled method? That means that in object memory it will be contained 3 times: - 1 as source code - 2 as big literal array - 3 in freetype memory buffer

imo, #fontContents should be

fontContents ^ self url getContents ".. or whatever.. url is key here"

... or you can download the binaray data and put it into class var (lazy-initialized etc).. but do not hold binary data as source code.. this is really awful idea as to me. unless you worry that longevity of your file copy @ smalltalk-hub will be higher than longevity on site where you downloaded it from.
