[Pharo-users] Pharo refactoring rewrite tool?

[Tim Mackinnon]

I recall there was a refactoring rewrite tool - but where is it in Pharo? Is it 
something you have to load separately? Or do you just copy some of the 
deprecated examples and do it manually? I thought there was something with a 
window where you typed in a rule and then it showed you what it would do? (Or 
was that only in Dolphin?)

Thanks,

Tim

Re: [Pharo-users] Test skip isn't working?

[Vitor Medina Cruz]

Skip only works when I run tests from class. If I click the test button
from the method skipped it don't work, maybe an error in calypso?

I use the platform fonts to show Chinese and Japanese content correctly.
On Mac, PingFang SC. On Ubuntu I have been using Noto Sans.

Not yet in Pharo, but maybe supporting Christian to port his RDF library (

Re: [Pharo-users] 7.0.2 and the font glitch - seems far worse than 7.0.1

[Tim Mackinnon]

Hey Pierce - what font did you use - are you talking about the Bitmap fonts, or 
did you pick something else?

This tip, also reveals a usability annoyance on that font setting panel - the 
Force All button not only copies the font to all the sub settings - but also 
the size (making it slightly less useful).

Re: [Pharo-users] 7.0.2 and the font glitch - seems far worse than 7.0.1

[Tim Mackinnon]

Ah - I didn’t know about using “native fonts” - is that in settings?  I’ll 
check it out.

That said - if the image default is not to have that setting - we really need 
to understand and fix this as it’s mega confusing for new users when you don’t 
see what you typed or code suddenly changes in front of you.

So I will also eat the dog food and see if I can help diagnose this .

Worked on my Mojave Mac with fresh 7.0.2 images today. Saw the font
glitch after a short while. I switched to native fonts and the glitch
went away. I don't use Launcher.

That last expression wins hands down !
