How am I supposed to draw text on a Form(Canvas) without it looking all blurred? I've installed Freetype and Polymorph (the pharo image with both), but it's unclear how to get a font that draws correctly. The non-truetype fonts give much beter results, but are still blurred.

How *didn't* it work? Are you talking about the text in a particular place or results from some code you wrote?
Does the result look as blurry as a normal TextMoprh on screen? Or even blurrier? If it is the former, that is how it looks. If the latter, code like the following gives me a reasonable result.
t := TextMorph new. t beAllFont: (StrikeFont familyName: 'BitstreamVeraSans' size: 18). "Choose your favorite font here." t contents: 'ABC'. f := Form extent: 100@100 depth: 32. f fillColor: Color white. t drawOn: f getCanvas. f display
