I needed to create "big" text for annotating images and found that only
certain sizes were available. That led me to
http://forum.world.st/additional-font-size-td3206897.html
I ended up adding the following to my code:
FreeTypeFontProvider current families isEmpty ifTrue:[
FreeTypeFontProvider current updateFromSystem.
].
aFont := LogicalFont familyName: 'DejaVu Sans Mono' pointSize:100.
It seems to work. Is there a better way to do it? Should there be any
helper methods in LogicalFont to do this type of thing? A lazy LogicalFont
class>>loadSystemFonts would be less invasive than setting the preference
to load fonts on startup, since it could be triggered as needed and cost
nothing otherwise.
I am thinking of LogicalFont mostly because I learned to look there a long
time ago, so it is the first place I go for fonts.
