There is several issues here:
In IconicButton>>initializeWithThumbnail: aThumbnail withLabel: aLabel
andSend: aSelector to: aReceiver
the font is set to StrikeFont familyName: Preferences standardEToysFont
familyName size: 15
-First I think that the flap icons should have their own font
preference. It's hard to
know which font to change to get a new one.
-Another issue is that the font will be added to a form and resized with
the thumbnail morph stuff.
This makes a lot of fonts look ugly
-Yet another issue is that a TTF added to a transparent image morph will
look ugly because
image morphs don't pick up the anti-aliasing and potential translucency
of that font rendering.
