"Uses host fonts from a Win32 system for display. On a Windows system, if you have FontPlugin.dll with your executable, execute HostFont initWin32 Then, you should be able to use fonts from a variety of native Windows fonts of various sized and emphasis." Except, of course, for the bugs. I can't actually choose one due to some issue with IdentityGlyphMap. And, Pharo isn't shipped with the dll (I don't think) - so I picked on up from Squeak 3.8, the last time I used HostFonts (for a month or so). There are currently a lot of additional candidates for what this does. -Chris
