Juan has made a change for bigger punctuation in Cuis.
I does not translate easily to Squeak since Cuis does not use StrikeFontSet.

In Cuis,  'StrikeFont useRegularPunctuation' and 'StrikeFont
useLargerPunctuation'.

The stuff is at #buildLargerPunctuation.

It is copying  the punctuation marks from a larger font size

Best,
Karl
