I was told that Squeak3.2 alpha has better support but that being an
alpha version I'd rather not use it :)

I got the same results some months ago when I tried it on my linux
machine, never tried on windows though. The strange thing is that when I
do a "preview" of the font using a file browser (and then 'open truetype
font' or something from the menu) it looks ok, so I guess it must be
just some bug somewhere?? But I don't really have the time to go hunt
for it ...

Very sad :(
