You are right.

The Undeclared global in Squeak3.10alpha.7105 contains an entry for Registry.
This is caused by TTCFont class>>registry referencing a class var (Registry)
that has been deleted.
It can be fixed by evaluating...

    TTCFont class removeSelector: #registry.
    Undeclared removeUnreferencedKeys.

This then allows the FreeType Plus package to load without error.

Cheers,
Andy
