VisualWorks 8.0 Ubuntu questions

[Sergey L.]

Hi all!
I'm very new to the VW and I have 2 questions:
- How can I download the online help?
I got "Could not locate parcel VWHelp. Load cancelled" when tried Help - Load help.
And there is no such parcel in Parcel Manager.
- Is there a way to customize the fonts? I use Ubuntu 14.10.

I can't help with your specific query but...

I have just tried using VW 8 on Trisquel Linux and I had problems involving #upButton sent to a kind
of VisualPart (when trying to send an upButton highValue: during a #postBuildWith:).

In short, I believe it will be a few months before bugs fully surface and are sorted out.
In the meantime I've gone back to vw7.9.1. At least it was stable.
