HI Ted,
How did you install Pharo? I ask because I tested the process you described and everything worked fine on my mac, also Mojave 10.14.4 I opened a terminal, made a temp directory and pasted in curl https://get.pharo.org/64/ | bash to install Pharo. I started the image with ./pharo-ui Pharo.image Then followed your instructions to set the font to large and maximize Pharo to be full screen. Seems to work fine. When you run the command to start Pharo from the command line in the directory with your Pharo 7.0.3 image but instead of specifying an image you ask the VM for its version e.g './pharo --version' what do you get? I get: 5.0 5.0.201901051900 Mac OS X built on Jan 5 2019 19:11:02 UTC Compiler: 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.31) [Production Spur 64-bit VM] CoInterpreter VMMaker.oscog-eem.2504 uuid: a00b0fad-c04c-47a6-8a11-5dbff110ac11 Jan 5 2019 StackToRegisterMappingCogit VMMaker.oscog-eem.2504 uuid: a00b0fad-c04c-47a6-8a11-5dbff110ac11 Jan 5 2019 VM: 201901051900 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git Date: Sat Jan 5 20:00:11 2019 CommitHash: 7a3c6b6 Plugins: 201901051900 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git Maybe you're inadvertently using an old VM?
