...

my default font is NewYork12 15

when I save a TextMorph or a MenuItemMorph with #saveOnFile, then import the .morph file back in the image, the font becomes NewYork12B 15, bold.

OTOH there is no problem with NewYork10 12 (the default one in Squeak 3.4).

no problem with StringMorph either.

how could I fix this ?

I'm not seeing this in my image.

sorry about that, I should have checked before asking :(

it seems that the text becomes bold on saving.. attached is a TextMorph which when I saved it had plain text, and which when loaded is bold (in a fresh 3.5 image). is that useful to you ?

What version?

3.4

What packages have you loaded into it?

many... RePlugin, StarBrowser, Whisker, Connectors, OSProcess, Prolog, NamedProcess, Atomic, I guess a couple more.

well I should do that job myself: I'll try to isolate the responsible package and let you know.

thanks !

ok I did the trick with a TextMorph in NewYork12.

this is what I get in the debugger, when a 'self halt' is prepended to the described statement:

self height: 12 self emphasis: 0 self familyName: 'NewYork'

now if I put the halt after the statement, I can also check that dp is a DiskProxy whose constructorArgs array is indeed #('NewYork 12 0')

but... removing the halt, saving and loading the morph... it comes bold !

thanks for your help

cheers,

Stef

Yes, the file contains emphasis = 1 for the font at size 15. You can place a 'self halt' into StrikeFont class>>familyName: size: emphasized: to see that.

When you save a TextMorph, the font information is filed out with method StrikeFont>>objectForDataStream:

In this method you find this statement:

dp _ DiskProxy global: #StrikeFont selector: #familyName:size:emphasized: args: (Array with: self familyName with: self height with: self emphasis).

This descriptor contains a class, a class method and three method arguments. To reconstruct the instance from this descriptor, the method and its arguments are sent to the class. That's all.

I think it is that place where the unwanted boldness is written into the file. You should place a 'self halt' before this statement and explore the values self familyName, self height, self emphasis. Emphasis should be zero for plain fonts and 1 for bold fonts.

Can you tell me what you see?

Ok, this is the first of four StrikeFonts, the smallest one. The file that you gave us on May 18th contains descriptors for four fonts and that is not a surprice: These four fonts set up the TextStyle 'NewYork' When you save the Morph with the 'self halt' that I proposed to you in my last mail, the debugger will open four times. The second time it opens, it will show you what will be filed out for the font of size 15 and that is the most interesting point.

bingo !

the second time, self emphasis is 1. name is 'NewYork12'

the third and fourth times, self emphasis is 0 all right.

also, maybe of interest: the instance variable derivativeFonts is, for the four fonts:

1) size 12, name 'NewYork10': #(a StrikeFont(NewYork10B 12) nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil)

2) size 15, name 'NewYork12': #(a StrikeFont(NewYork12B 15) nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil)

3) size 18, name 'NewYork18': #(nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil)

4) size 24, name 'NewYork24': #(nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil)

... StrikeFont(NewYork12B 15) is actually the font I get in my morph when I load it back.

more precisely, the TextMorph I save has a textStyle:

TextStyle NewYork12

which itself has a fontArray:

#(a StrikeFont(NewYork10 12) a StrikeFont(NewYork12 15) a StrikeFont(NewYork18 21) a StrikeFont(NewYork24 26))

while the TextMorph loaded back has a textStyle:

TextStyle NewYork12B

which has a fontArray:

#(a StrikeFont(NewYork10 12) a StrikeFont(NewYork12B 15) a StrikeFont(NewYork18 21) a StrikeFont(NewYork24 26))
