TrueType Font in a user object?

Folks,
	You may have noticed the great "Objects" chooser in Squeak. 
Just Alt-o (Cmd-o on a Mac).  It is a master parts bin for objects. 
I'd like to add a banner-like TTSampleStringMorph that uses a 
TrueType font.  This would be great for presentations, etc.  (In "Fun 
with Morphic" there already is "Squeak Rulez" that looks great.  I am 
trying to generalize this and make it available.)

	Do you know five or six great free TrueType fonts that I 
could download and put into the release image?   They must be free 
enough to live under our license.
	Do you have code that can bring in a TrueType font from a web 
site at the click of a mouse in Squeak?  It would be really good to 
have this and a list of urls in Squeak.
	Do you have a favorite place in the system where we should 
hold these fonts, so they can be available for TTSampleStringMorph to 
use them?

	Thanks in advance!

--Ted.
