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 le

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 fr

Hi Hilaire - I'm not changing any font settings at all - this is a clean zero conf image, load my project, open a system browser and start typing some code and it starts happening quite quickly. The only thing that might exasperate this is me loading in mirage after my project (I need to test

This problem also randomly shows up in Dr.Geo/Linux. I think I saw it recently in DrGeo build with P7.0.1 or P7.0.2. Tim, did you use an alternate true type font for your Pharo GUI? Until know I though the issue was related to the FreeType plugin and the use of true type font in the UI. Hilaire
