:) Well, I'd keep using latin characters for Smalltalk coding, but an 
app might want to use Cyrillic for example. Anyway, this was just an 
experiment and I thought it looks nice enough to share.

No, it was just an experiment. I plan to have support for TrueType 
fonts, but restricted to Latin Alphabet during this year. Should be able 
to use both BitBlt or VectorGraphics / OpenCL.

Cheers,
