so, i checked both in 4.9 and 5.0 Moose images on linux...

got weird results and sometimes crashes.

in 5.0 image the version is:
Athens-Cairo-MarcusDenker.51

- this one uses pretty old code, which renders text using 'toy' cairo api for text rendering.

in my working image, where i work every day it is:

Athens-Cairo-SvenVanCaekenberghe.64

and there's also couple important fixes since .51 as well as different font rendering code which no longer using toy api..

so, guys, if you want me to continue, please try using latest versions and report problems about it,

because it makes no sense to find a fix in something which outdated and thrown away many months ago.

Load the latest dev version of Athens from smalltalkhub (it is version 2.5)

ConfigurationOfAthens loadDevelopment.

try it out.

Here's what i got on latest fresh vanilla out of the box Pharo 3.0 image on linux system:

P.S. i am not saying that it is *impossible* that there is problems in new version, just asking you to report problems with that version,

not one which year(s) old.
