Hi Peter,
As far as I can understand, this is because TextStyle is brain dead code
when it comes to font selection (and fontName:size: is a useless API).
(and now I can't write code in my Workspace in 4.0 because I get a DNU from
the styler for every key I type :( :( :( )
This code correctly select the font.
Morph new
hResizing: #shrinkWrap;
addMorph: (
'Hello World' asMorph
font: (LogicalFont familyName: 'Source Sans Pro' pointSize: 110);
emphasis: TextEmphasis bold emphasisCode);
openInWindow;
color: Color red
