You find a Windows only solution done by Andreas Raab under
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/squeak/message/39510
It uses the TrueType to bitmap rendering function of the host OS and
imports
the result as a StrikeFont. Andreas gives an example how to do big
fonts.
The mail includes a FontPlugin DLL and a change set.
