Hi Dan,

I tried again. On a Windows 7 system, I stored the contents of both zips 
in a folder, started the image and exported 'Calibri' without any problems.

In any case, this is not part of Cuis. It wasn't even meant for 
distribution, just for my own use when I built the Bitmap Vera Sans 
fonts in Cuis/Squeak/Pharo. I only published it at your personal 
request, and not in the Cuis repo. It is given without support or 
warranties. If you want to use it, try understanding what is going on. 
After all, it is just Smalltalk. If you do that, and ask specific 
questions, I'll answer.
