Gee how timely, I was working on Tk4/Sophie this morning and coding up  
a FileURL for a font file.

say
FileUrl absoluteFromText: 'file:///Library/Fonts/Corsiva.ttf'.

But the problem is on the mac when I ask for the pathForFile
I get back

':Library:Fonts:Corsiva.ttf'

The leading ':' implies under HFS+ to use the current working directory  
and of course we don't get the file open.
In this case the path should be:
'Library:Fonts:Corsiva.ttf''

Now if I say
FileUrl absoluteFromText: 'file:Library/Fonts/Corsiva.ttf'.
which gets me a non-absolute file URL object, then I'll get the HFS+  
correct, but that's wrong...
