Hi Freeman,

Thanks for your query. 
I've been waiting for some else to notice this bug.

Yep. Two answers.

One, it's a bug.
see:
[squeak-dev] 3.10.2-rc is missing TTCFont registry fixes M6577FontRegFix-wiz.2.cs
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2008-June/129332.html

Two, I have not found anyone willing to care about harvesting the fix
for the official squeak distribution despite attempts.
You have helped by finding an complaining about the problem.

Ken Causey was the point man on the release.
He deemed this not important enough to include.
My opinion still differs.

Randal L. Schwartz  is the board member most involved in the releasing of images.

They both need motivation in the form of user feedback.
