No. It's also becoming a problem, but they had a reason to be removed.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

They were removed because now you can use any font stored on your computer for Scratch projects. I am really disappointed I can't use the Emulator font anymore though. It had a very clean, computer-ish look. It would be nice if the old default fonts were included with the Scratch download, just for convenience.

You can get the old fonts back by doing a little hack: Rename the file UnicodePlugin.dll to something else, then open Scratch, voila . Just be sure to rename the UnicodePlugin.dll back again afterwards, otherwise lots of things will not work correctly.

Is there a way to get the old fonts installed on your computer so that they are available all the time in Scratch, without your very-clever hack?
