[BUG] Squeak not started when cant find TTFont files

Denis Kudriashov
Hello, I found strange and very bad bug

Just open clean squeak4.1 image. Load some TTFont (TTFileDescription installFamilyNamed: 'Verdana'). Set font verdana as default system font (World menu/appearance/systemfonts). Save and quit.

Now remove from your Windows/Fonts catalog all verdana font files.

Start your image.

You will see infinit image loading (only splash screen) with continous ram eating.

So, you found it yourself. Good.

This is because most people here is a bunch of ascetic developers,
who don't need fancy UI & graphics, and feel themselves comfortable
with bare minimum,
provided by default.
So, not a surprise, that some parts, related to 'fancy' things left
unattended. :)
