StrikeFont Accujen in Pharo

So my question is, if it's possible to get the Accujen into Pharo. The
StrikeFont class still exists but it seams like all fonts but DejaVu are
missing now.
    

What happens when you browse the list of available fonts (World
menu->System->Preferences->System fonts->default text fonts) ?

In this list the available fonts are all TrueType fonts in my System (Windows) and the fonts in the "Fonts" subdirectory of Pharo (that are all versions of DejaVU*.ttf). Also there's the font "Accuny" that is afaik a StrikeFont. But unfortunatly no "Accujen".

All bitmapped fonts except Accuny were removed about a year ago to save space, as far as I can remember.
The last Pharo-image containing Accujen seems to be 10107, it's available from the archives.
You could try to extract it as a package from either there or a recent Squeak image, where I think it's still included.

Alternatively, evaluate StrikeFont installDejaVu (warning: will change the default fonts), and see if Bitmap DejaVu Sans size 7 is adequate for your needs.
(Either way, it shows off how to install a font in the system)

Thank you Henry! With your hint i've finally found a solution!

In Squeak I could file out the font with:
(StrikeFont familyName: 'Accujen' size: 9) writeAsStrike2named:  
'Accujen9.sf2'

In Pharo then I could file it in with:
TextConstants at: 'Accujen' put: (TextStyle fontArray: (Array with:  
(StrikeFont new readFromStrike2: 'Accujen9.sf2'))).
Preferences restoreDefaultFonts.
StrikeFont limitTo16Bits.
StrikeFont useUnderscoreIfOver1bpp

Now I can use the Accujen like any other font in Pharo. :)
    

could you package that and put it somewhere?
so that we can reuse it somebody needs it?
A AccujenPharo Package would be great!
