Hi,

This was discussed before both on the Moose and on the Pharo mailing list. We are loading explicitly an older version of Athens because we could not work at all with the one that came from Pharo, and nobody reacted at the time to the font issue:

GTImageSetupCommandLineHandler>>loadOlderAthensPackagesToCorrectTheFontCachingProblem
"
This is a workaround fir the bug described here:
https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/12777/Athens-font-cacheing-bug
"
Gofer new 
smalltalkhubUser: 'Pharo' project: 'Pharo30';
package: 'Athens-Cairo' constraint: [ :version |
version author = 'MarcusDenker' and: [ version versionNumber = 51 ] ];
package: 'Athens-Core' constraint: [ :version | 
version author = 'MarcusDenker' and: [ version versionNumber = 34 ] ];
load

Now it's great that you are looking at it. So, I now removed it from the setup and the image is now relying on the latest Pharo 3.0. The build is running now:
https://ci.inria.fr/moose/job/moose-5.0/1008/

Cheers,
Doru

Hi guys.

This is strange that moose is using a so old version of Athens.

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because it makes no sense to find a fix in something which outdated and thrown away many months ago.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

Inline images 1


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.
