[Test][3.8a][m17n] After loading host fonts Squeak blocks

Yoshiki,
For some reason, the m17n installer also installs a broken (!) version of
HostFont. In particular HostFont>>displayString:on:from:to:at:kern: is
utterly broken as can be seen by evaluating:
HostFont textStyleFrom: 'Arial'.
mm := StringMorph new.
mm font: (TextStyle named: 'Arial') defaultFont.
mm fullDrawOn: Display getCanvas.
If you remove the method (e.g., just fall back to StrikeFont's
implementation) everything works fine.
Question: Is there any reason why HostFont has to be in the m17n image?
Cheers,
- Andreas
