Hi Luciano,

This may be due to using VectorCanvas for all drawing. Try evaluating 
`MorphicCanvas activeSubclass: HybridCanvas.` to use BitBlt for 
unzoomed/unrotated windows, with full VG capabilities, or `MorphicCanvas 
activeSubclass: BitBltCanvas.` to completely disable VG (while keeping 
TTF working).

Please tell how it goes.

Thanks,
