I am not too surprised ;)
However, according to http://www.squeaksource.com/FreetypePlugin.html you seem to be one of the most
knowledgeable person on how to do this.

FWIW, the FT2.bundle that comes with the current All-in-one works well with
the current Cog VM (It crashed on OSX with the previous one, but I think this
was an OSX related fluke). It is the same binary that comes with the OSX Squeak 5.7.4.1 VM
(which is deemed the latest Cocoa interpreter VM as per http://www.squeakvm.org/mac/,
which, frankly, puzzles me, but I digress…)

The code seems to be here: http://www.squeaksource.com/ObjectiveCBridge2.html
It is an ordinary Squeak Plugin, and OSX platform code seems to be in
	http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms/iOS/plugins/SqueakObjectiveC (for Cocoa)
and
	http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms/Mac%20OS/plugins/SqueakObjectiveCPlugin (for Carbon)
the latter being a tad newer and probably applicable to both.
I think one has to ask John about that.
