Hi, Jim -

Take a look at FontSet.

This was perhaps one of the ugliest hacks I ever did, but the result is pretty slick.  The idea is that it is a superclass of which you can make subclasses representing sets of fonts.  There is protocol there to slurp up a number of fonts in .BF (BitFont) files, or to slurp up all the fonts of a textStyle, and to reproduce a textStyle, given the FontSet.

What it does is jam the bits of the strikeFont for each size into a string literal.  Then if you send, eg, #size10 to one of these guys, it will make up the strikeFont from the string literal.  As I recall it uses compression on the glyphs, so it is actually quite space-efficient, too.

I think I even wrote a bunch of comments for it.

Enjoy
