  I put a reply to your bug report.  If I copy it, it reads:

------------------------
First, this wasn't the problem I introduced^^;

Second, the do-it is wrong, since

     #(12, 18, 24, 36, 60)

doesn't result in a 5-element array, but 9-element array with four #,'s.

Third, if you define #pixelSize: at StrikeFont that is identical to the TTCFont one,

pixelSize: aNumber
    "Make sure that we don't return a Fraction"
    self pointSize: (TextStyle pixelsToPoints: aNumber) rounded.

it runs.

However, you would need to fix the combination rule to render the 8-bit depth glyph correctly.

Lastly, you can say 

     TTCFontReader encodingTag: Latin1Environment leadingChar.
     TTCFontSet newTextStyleFromTTFile: 'C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\verdana.ttf'

to use Verdana for some extent. 
------------------------

  Ned, did you do the "installing combination rule" part of FormSetFont?
