Silk Alpha

This may be extremely buggy. This is the first time someone other than me has used it. Never tested on 10.1.5.

Get it here

Version 1.5a
- Font substitution
- Theme Font Replacement
- Minimum Font Size
- Moved to .APE
- Some other bugs fixed I can't remember. Like this one caused by a bug in OS X that makes it so Silk can't get the path of a CFM unbundled application using CFBundle.

Known Problems

- Changes may not take effect immediately for the new fonts tab.
- May replace some fonts it shouldn't and might not replace others it should.
- TextEdit (the API, not the Application) selection shows fuzzy pixels. Want to fix this for next version. Not sure how yet.
- Doesn't make sure APE is installed.
- Minimum font size is wacky at times.
- The desktop seems to randomly decide when to draw shadows when Fast Theme font replacement is selected.
- If you have substitution rule for Lucida Grande to some other font and a theme font selected that is different from the rule, you will get some odd results.
- If you replace the font that is the theme font as a font substitution rule, you will get some weird results as well.
- Because of Objective-C's inherent slowness, doing font substitution on a Cocoa app that uses Cocoa text handling (Like OmniWeb and ProjectBuilder but not Chimera) can be extremely painful.
- There may be some memory leaks here and there.

Settings Fonts

- You can drag and drop just about any text selection with font information or object from the right side of the Silk Preference pane to the left side of the Silk Preference Pane's Font Tab or two the "Font Boxes" below the tables. Like if you don't like a font in Internet Explorer but don't know the name of the font, just drag a text selection containing the font onto the Original Font box or the font substitution rule table of the Font tab of the Silk preference pane. I'll make a movie later to explain this.
