Really? Then I'm sorry and I have so say that I wanted to talk about font
*families*. Everything else seems very strange for me. I would never
expect that a larger font has completely different glyphs.
I'm glad you posted a gif to prove that you're right. I'm also very glad
that you take it personal to defend Squeak (even it I didn't attack it or
challenge you) ;-)
Your argument, however, isn't fair. As Squeak is turning-complete, it can
do everything (perhaps with the exception of washing cars), if programmed
correctly. The system that comes right of the box however can't show
multiple forms if you don't reprogram (which includes manipulating
textstyle objects) it.
So let's settle that argumentation by agreeing that we're both correct.

Well, then go forward with a good example and port it... :-)
