This font had copyright issues as of Squeak 2.0. I think it was probably replaced
by some other font because of that. The copyright status of the ComicSansMS font
may have changed since then (I don't know). If it is legally ok to have it, then
we should put it back into the image, otherwise we should update the TextStyle
to reflect what is actually in the image.
