Thanks, this does most of the trick except one Font (MusiTone) does
not seem to get garbage collected. When is explore objects pointing to
it I see a TextStyle. TextStyle allInstances also shows a MusiTone
TextStyle, but it is not in the TextConstants (TextConstants select:
[:each| each class = TextStyle]). 

When I follow objects ponting to this TextStyle I only see an
"anInspector". I believe this is me. But why doesn't the
TextStyle->Font get garbage collected?
