Browsing through strike fonts, I see no fixed widths. But, true type fonts have a few 
fixed-width examples. There seems to be no way to install a .ttf in Cuis currently.

Can we port TrueType-Support from Squeak?

Should there be a sibling of StrikeFont, say TrueTypeFont, which inherits from AbstractFont?

Any hints or guidance would be most welcomed.
