Ok, based on this change set I built a BitBltPlugin for Mac Carbon VMs.

Find it via my idisk or FTP.

http://www.smallltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

in the experimental folder

BitBltPlugin.v1.0.0b1.FreeTypePlus.bundle.zip


I know it gets loaded, but I don't know if it works since I'm not  
sure what I'm looking to test for.
However I suspect some eager  macintosh users will give me feeback  
before lunch today.

To install, unzip and put the *.bundle in the Resources beside the  
FT2Plugin


About the FT2PLugin.bundle.  Macintosh users should ensure they have  
the 2.2.2c51 or later FT2Plugin.
2.2.2 resolves some crash issues that are in the 2.2.1 freetype code,  
and loads all the freetype fonts on your macintosh, 2.2.1 did not.
2.2.2 is found in VMs I think at 3.8.16 or higher.   Also found on my  
idisk in the Sophie Folder
