 Overview:

Fonts are in trouble.

As I18n took place strikefonts have taken a second seat to ttcfonts.

Several authors have made changes w/o understanding fully what underlies fonts and their protocol. Making assumtions that turn out to be incorrect.

3dot9 deepened the problem by adding stuff both from 3.8 squeakland and dgd's smalland branch w/o adaquate checks or tests for integration compatablitity.

I've tried to patch things by making assumptions based on some of the broken code. And those assuptions have proven incorrect and incomplete. The patches caused bugs to pop up in other places.

bugs found so far:
1) derived fonts have gross and obvious glitches.
2) default font assumptions can lead to messages like #ascent to have infinite recursion
3) font arrays and fonts are getting confused and substituted for each other leading to dnu's and worse.
4) testing of the fonts are causing font defaults to be changed but not reset.

Fonts could use help and a good overall code review.

Yours in service, --Jerome Peace
