Hi Nicola,

Thanks for testing and reporting. Comments inline.

This is to be reported at the appropriate place for OpenSmalltalk people 
to fix it. We don't develop the OpenSmalltalk VM here.

It seems VectorGraphics requires #subPixelRenderFonts and 
#subPixelRenderColorFonts both set to true. Disabling them gives the

Thanks. I have found that Cuis runs quite well on my RasPi 3B, including 
VectorGraphics if using a VM with the plugin. Still, I use a regular PC 
for day to day dev.
