I haven't touched that package in quite a while. I just re-packaged
some stuff from Andreas, and added a couple of changes to immediately
change the fonts in all of the windows.
I haven't done anything because I want to figure out if it still makes
sense in a TTF world, but have never spent the time to check out the
other font implementation alternatives. This package installs a new
plugin, and it probably should use a different font renderer now.
With all the changes in squeak in the past three years, it's hard to
guess what's gone wrong.

a deriative font, either a bold or italic version. This is in
Andreas' code, not mine. I'm leaving on a two week vaction today, but
I will try to look at it after then. I can pretend to be a
responsible maintainer. :-)
One thing it points out is that Squeak needs a much better font
picker; I keep starting one and then life and/or work intrudes.
