How to change the system font to a custom TrueType font ?
I managed to solve with the help of the following:
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5586http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5584http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5773 - system with russian (cyrillic) fonts
The above documents helped a lot;
specifically the document 5773 "how to setup Squeak with a cyrillic font",
had an important note:
"Switch your fonts
This can be done from World->Appearance->System Fonts."
That works indeed, if you set the various fonts (text font, menu font, list
font, code font etc.) in the World->Appearances->System Fonts.
I think this could be in its own wiki page:
"How to change the default System Fonts"
if such a doc does not already exist.
I didn't find it on wiki.squeak.org but fortunately the other docs helped.

Hi Hans --
It might be a good idea to document this issue here:
https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak-object-memory/issues [https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak-object-memory/issues]
I would not expect that this particular issue got fixed in the new Squeak 6.0 release:
https://squeak.org/ [https://squeak.org/]
If you think that this is rather VM-related, there is an extra issue tracker for the OpenSmalltalk VM:
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues [https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues]
Best,
Marcel

Betreff: Re: Re: [Newbies] Bug: Cannot type double-quote sign in Squeak on Linux
An: Marcel Taeumel <marcel.taeumel(a)hpi.de>
Hello Marcel,
Thank you for your reaction! As far as I know, all five of the keys 'backquote', 'tilde', 'up-arrow', 'single quote', and 'double-quote' are also used for accentuating other characters, and thus should indeed (and have always been) 'dead' keys. The normal behaviour is, IMO, that when you type the dead key, nothing seems to happen, but when the next key is entered, the corresponding character is changed, like e.g. a -> á, o -> ö, etc. Typing a dead key followed by the space key normally results in the symbol itself being returned.
In a Linux terminal window all this works as expected.
In a Workspace window on Squeak, not one of these combinations works! Initially I assumed that a workaround existed by typing the 'dead' key twice; at least for the first four this seemed to work. But the last one (the double-quote, indeed) looked the same as when I used the "standard" way as described above.
I attach a small text file demonstrating the results of a few experiments I did to find out what is happening. Seeing the result of the "showkey -a" command, I must conclude that not one of the five accentuations work; the first four "double-type" actions seem to do, but the last one just receives the unconverted keycodes (which are being converted correctly by the terminal).
I hope this makes my problem clear. If you need more info, just let me know...
I have not yet had time to test the Trunk version you mentioned; I may have an opportunity to try that later this week.
Greetings, Hans.

Hi Hans,
should the key to enter single or double quotes be a dead key at all?
Could you try it in a 6.0alpha (Trunk) and report back? There is a KeyboardExerciser that shows some more information:
KeyboardExerciser new openInWorld.
Resize the tool via its halo. It will get keyboard focus on mouse-enter.
Best,
Marcel
