I posted this yesterday, but it seems to have got lost.  I've built a 
font using Bitfont from a freely-usable font called Ypatia where the 
glyphs are mostly of Greek letters. (FileIn the .st file in 
http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu:8888/cs2340/uploads/ypatia.zip, then do 
"Ypatia installAsTextStyle") This is for a class project where 
students are building math equation formatters in Squeak.

Here's the problem.  The below generates a nice glyph:
('g' asParagraph textStyle: (TextStyle named: 'Ypatia')) display

But the capital version generates only a little white space:
('G' asParagraph textStyle: (TextStyle named: 'Ypatia')) display

However, this works fine (with extra whitespace, of course):
(' G ' asParagraph textStyle: (TextStyle named: 'Ypatia')) display

I found a workaround that works, by using a StringMorph to get it all 
to format correctly:
yts := (TextStyle named: 'Ypatia').
s := (StringMorph contents: 'G' font: (yts fontOfSize: 10)).
s imageForm display

But I can't figure out why, i.e., what methods are being called 
differently.  My guess is that the boundingBox is somehow being 
computed incorrectly, and that perhaps I need to fix something in my 
generated font.  But the fact that StringMorph handles it just fine 
makes me think that there's something weird going on in DisplayText.

I'd like to be able to create a DisplayText of a string without 
having to use StringMorphs. Any suggestions or fixes? Thanks!
