Re: Alto Serif Smalltalk-72 font with GNU smalltalk

[address@hidden]

In the emacs screenshots it shows some of the characters are hard to read.

For example this font has the '@' character replaced by some sort of 'happy 
face'.

On the other hand it's nice that the UNIX 'cat' command displays the underscore 
as back-arrow.

It also clarifies why it's perhaps not a good idea to use underscores in 
Smalltalk source code,
but the same was perhaps true for UNIX and C.  Perhaps only later the 
underscore was allowed,
so that people now use in C identifiers like pthread_create etc.
