Since Fixedsys is a raster font, it'll only display at sizes for which it
was originally authored. This is an ugly hack, but you could try supplying a
specific size only for Fixedsys:
font name>> windows-font-name "Fixedsys" =
[ 12 ] [ font size>> neg ] if ! nHeight
Factor normally passes CreateFont a negative value to ask for character size
rather than point size, which probably doesn't work well with Fixedsys.
Passing positive 12 should give you 12-pt Fixedsys.
The raster fonts I've been able to use are rescalable at only large jumps in
size. FixedSys shows that at sizes measured in points (not pixels) it is
ready for the big change at the 26-to-27 transition, where it jumps
enormously in size, but with perfection proportionality. No problem: the
smaller size will do.
I have the Factor bundle installed in my user directory. I see the bundle
in the E bundle pane, but the bundle does nothing to format and color text.
There are though, lots of tiny helper snippet nodes in the tree. These when
clicked insert code templates into the text editor for you to fill-out. I'm
researching bundles to see if I'm not using them correctly, but this should
not be complicated; it's a text editor. I see in the bundle tree nodes
Factor and HTML (Factor). The JSON in these nodes includes regex
expressions, and appears to be colorizing by selecting named colors,
organized hierarchically. The JSON looks like declarative specs for
colorizers for Factor source and for HTML in the help browser (guessing),
but I don't see how to get them to be used by E. E is supposed to recognize
when it has a *.factor file loaded and then apply the appropriate bundle
node to do the coloring. This must be what is broken. There is no option
for turning a bundle on/off. You can only delete them. So I assume they
are ready to run by default after being loaded.
Is anyone actually using E with Factor on Windows?
