Hello
I have played with this on Moose 5.0 (Pharo 3.0 update: #30854) on Windows 7 Pro. For me, it is necessary to include color:Color red after openInWindow to get the red background, as Thierry said. There is another puzzle, which is that the code does not respond in any linear way to changes in the font size. If you replace size: 75 with any number from 38 upwards, you get the same size of font. Change the size to 37 and there is a sharp reduction in size, and it changes in proportion for smaller numbers. Is there something different about this font?

Why is that indeed? Phil I can not reproduce this with this code: Morph new color:Color red; hResizing: #shrinkWrap; addMorph: ( 'Hello World' asMorph fontName: 'Open Sans' size: 75; emphasis: TextEmphasis bold emphasisCode); openInWindow The Morph is red!

Adding the morph inside the window changes the morph color to white :( (What the heck?) If the color is changed after the openInWindow, then that works.

I thought I understood - but it just doesn’t seem to work. I was thinking I could create a container morph, set its background colour (which works), and then put a StringMorph inside it with a set font. This last bit I can’t get to work - I can do bold, but not a bigger font size. I’ve tried different things but am missing the magic sauce - can someone spot my mistake? Below, I’ve tried using a font name that I can see in the Pharo settings dialog but it doesn’t work? I also tried using LogicalFont with no success either. tMorph := StringMorph new. font1 := LogicalFont familyName: 'Arial' pointSize: 24. tMorph contents: 'Hello World'; fontName: 'Open Sans' size: 24; emphasis: TextEmphasis bold emphasisCode. bMorph := Morph new color: Color red; addMorph: tMorph. bMorph openInWorld.
