This is the last of my work on this project for a while.

Summary:

Nicely anti-aliased Bitstream Vera fonts in pixel sizes  9 12 13 14 16 20 32 
48 (corresponding more or less to point sizes (6.75 9.0 9.75 10.5 12.0 15.0 
24.0 36.0)), produced by the Freetype/2 plugin (which is still a work in 
progress).

Comes with enough support to be displayed without the plugin, though you can't 
make new sizes. The plugin also displays the fonts somewhat faster.

The fonts cover the MacRoman character set; their ^ and _ characters are the 
standard (i.e. non-Squeak) versions.

You can install copies of these fonts with Squeak-style arrows (and different 
names) if you want.

Previous problems with displaying these fonts in white on black in 16-bit mode 
have been fixed. However, they still don't look good in menus when 
non-inverted in 8-bit mode. So use 16 or 32 bit mode (the 32 bit mode should 
be faster on most systems).

Get it from a SqueakMap near you!
