I still can't reender composite glyphs. Just googled around, grabbed the 
first thing I found, and removed composite glyphs. I'm pretty sure the 
text doesn't make any sense at all. Sorry for that!

Interesting. The issue for Cuis is that supporting editing Unicode text 
requires some further changes... I think it would be best to represent 
Unicode strings as UTF-8 ByteArrays. But that means we no longer have 
#at: and #at:put:. See http://utf8everywhere.org/ . That would require 
quite a bit of changes in the String / Text related tools. So, for this 
year, I'll be happy if I can support TrueType on Latin alphabet, 
especially on the VectorGraphics engine.

Thanks,
