Hi Stef,

juan do you have some code that we could study to turn this micro police into font in our smalltalk :)
The code is already in Pharo! Look at #createDejaVu:, the senders and the methods called.
Besides, (and I already answered this to Marcus), in Cuis evaluate Preferences tinyFonts. Then open a class browser. This font is 5 pixels high, and letters are about 3.5 pixels wide. (Not 7 pixels high and 4.3 wide as I told Marcus, my mistake.) It is the smallest size I found easy to read, especially lowercase characters. I find it useful on PDAs (together with the 6 and 7 sizes also in Cuis). It uses about the same screen space as the "Flea's Knees" and I really find it much easier to read.
So, don't you prefer DejaVu 5 instead?
BTW, do play with FreeType. It can produce results equivalent to my DejaVu 5, 6 and 7.
Cheers, Juan Vuletich
Ps: Feel free to forward to the Pharo list

Hi,
While discussing Visualisations, we realized we want *really* tiny fonts... Here is a hand-drawn sub-pixel font that is just 5 pixels high...

Now we need to make a font for Pharo... Marcus
