Uh ... a somewhat odd argument considering that we've just taken a package
from SM and loaded it into the image, wouldn't you think ;-)
[btw, something's broken on SM -
http://map1.squeakfoundation.org/sm/packagebyname/AccuFonts ends up with
"Error: a primitive has failed"]

A basic image doesn't need Accu fonts either. If you are into "basic" stuff
you may as well use Atlanta for everything. Enjoy ;-)

PS. The message here is simply that "packages, packages, packages" isn't the
answer to every question.
