[Pharo-users] Unicode

2014-02-01 Thread Bob Williams
It would seem that the infrastructure for Unicode is in place, but there seems no apparent way to load Unicode fonts. The code example for loading TrueType does not work. Can some one point me to documentation on how to load Unicode? Thanks. Bob williams

[Pharo-users] Domaintalk - A Proposed New Project

2014-04-21 Thread Bob Williams
For some time I have been developing the idea of a extension to Smalltalk, which I call Domaintalk. That extension would have "areas" where the language natural to the problem being solved would be used. For example, when solving a numerical problem then mathematical notation would be used or w

It would appear that there is some interest in the Domaintalk project, but from the responses I received it is clear you need to see my full proposal to appreciate the scope of what is being proposed and determine if it is something that the Pharo project wants to do. The more extensive is curr

I decided to rewrite the Domaintalk proposal and the develop a Math Domain document. To do it correctly I had to use LaTeX which I have not used in decades. But it was worth the effort because it gave me more ideas about how to implement the Math Domain and it produces PDF files. I do not want

[Pharo-users] Accessing DLLs in Smalltalk/V

I found an old Smalltalk/V imagine from 2000 and tracked down how I was able add calls to Windows DLLs and to add my own. It was in the class DynamicLinkLibrary and its subclasses, e. g., a call to the GDIDLL to draw a Bezier spline (which I believe I added) was: bezierTo: hDC lpPoints: anLPPO
