Chris,

I added a note to the Mantis issue:

  I tried this on Linux and get the same results, so it is not platform
  dependent.  I also tried on an old Squeak 3.6 image (also on Linux),
  and got similar results except that the default font is different, with
  Squeak 3.6 using a StrikeFont(NewYork10 12) and Squeak trunk using a
  StrikeFont(Bitmap DejaVu Sans 9 14). So I suspect that this is not so
  much a bug as an existing limitation of the Pen class when drawing
  these fonts.
