Hannes,

  For (1) below, it is necessary.

  To me, (2) is not maintained well in the last version, and I know I
fixed (1) recently.  So,

----(1')----
TTCFontReader encodingTag: Latin1Environment leadingChar.
TTCFontSet newTextStyleFromTTFile: 'C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\Verdana.TTF'.
------------

is the recommend one. You can change TTCFont>>pointSizes to get
different sizes of fonts.

  Thank you!
