Currently I am porting TrueType. By way of a progress report, drag has been reduced and by 
installing

https://github.com/dhnorton/Cuis-Smalltalk-fonts

and cmd-d "tt := TTFontReader parseFileNamed:'c:\windows\fonts\cour.ttf'" you have a true 
type instance "tt" which, when explored, bears a strong resemblance to the same thing if 
done on Squeak, according to my eyeballs.

Now to transform(?) convert(?) this font to something which can be added to AvailableFonts 
and used. WIBGI it could be used as is? There are several fixed-width fonts in the .ttf set.
