Hi Alan,

This is the squeak look I like most, because I did it to suit my taste! 
Take a look at http://www.jvuletich.org/issues/Issue0010.htm that I have 
just uploaded. I managed to get antialiased subpixel rendered fonts in 
Squeak without modifying any plugin, just with a 13kb change set.

And my morphic 3.0 image pictured there got down from 5mb to 3.6mb!

I hope you like it.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
