This is on Windows? Which version? (XP, Vista, 98 etc).<BR>
<BR>
Could you please install from SqueakMap (or universes).<BR>
You should find that you have an ft2plugin.dll and a BitBltPlugin.dll in the same folder as the squeak.exe.<BR>
<BR>
Then evaluate the following in a Workspace, print the result, and tell me what it says? You can either reply to the list, or email me privately.<BR>

| s |<BR>s := WriteStream on: ''.<BR>s cr; nextPutAll: 'FT2 Version: ', FT2Version current asString; cr.<BR>s nextPutAll: 'Dirs: ', FreeTypeFontProvider current platformAbsoluteDirectories asString;cr.<BR>s nextPutAll: 'Files: ', (FreeTypeFontProvider current instVarNamed: 'fileInfos') asString; cr.<BR>s contents <BR>

You should see something similar to this....<BR>
<BR>
FT2 Version: 2.2.1<BR>Dirs: an OrderedCollection(DosFileDirectory on ''c:\windows\fonts'')<BR>Files: an IdentitySet(c:\windows\fonts\BRADHITC.TTF[0] Bradley Hand ITC - Regular - <BR> c:\windows\fonts\JUICE___.TTF[0] Juice ITC - Regular - <BR> c:\windows\fonts\davidbd.ttf[0] David - Bold - B <BR> c:\windows\fonts\rod.ttf[0] Rod - Regular - Monospaced<BR> c:\windows\fonts\kaiu.ttf[0] DFKai-SB - Regular - Monospaced<BR> c:\windows\fonts\sylfaen.ttf[0] Sylfaen - Regular - <BR> c:\windows\fonts\ariali.ttf[0] Arial - Italic - I <BR>
<BR>
etc.<BR>
<BR>
And, if you do see something similar to the above, then you should be able to set the system fonts using the World>>Appearance...>> System fonts... menu.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
