What makes you think that? Cog should be the same as the standard VM. At
Teleplace, for example, they use Cog with the NativeFontPlugin without
problems.

What's the way to do this on the standard VM and how does this approach fail
on the Cog VM?

The standard VM includes FT2Plugin by default, the Cog VM does not.
In a Pharo image, that is what loads the system fonts when you click
Settings -> Appearance -> Standard Fonts -> Update fonts from System.
I've never heard of NativeFontPlugin before, is it something new?

PS. At least on Mac, you can copy over the plugin from a normal VM, and it will work with Cog.
