I'm trying to publish the latest version of my New Connectors stuff. However, I'm running into a couple of problems:
1. There are a few SketchMorphs in the project. Several of these were read from 8-bit GIF files. They look fine on my system but when I load the saved project, these take on a purple cast. They'd started out grey and black (they were pictures of menus) but when I load the project they're light purple and dark purple. I don't know what's going on. The SketchMorph I made from a JPEG file looks OK when loaded back in.
What's going wrong here?
2. I'd like to use a nice-looking font. If I use TTSampleStringMorphs, it works, but these are quite large (>200K more) in the project. So I read a new font from a TrueType file and used it. But it doesn't seem to save with the project: textMorphs that used the new font become NewYork when loaded back in. The space analysis doesn't show any instances of FormSetFont being saved with the project.
How can I get this font to save with the project?

I've looked into this a bit further. Even if I set a workspace variable to my new TextStyle (which has pointers to the appropriate FormSetFonts), when my project gets loaded back in, the TextStyle points to "New York".
OK, so I read the class comment for ImageSegment. It says that what gets stored are objects that aren't pointed to by anything outside the project.
I removed the TextConstants entry for my new TextStyle VerdanaZ. I then used the inspector to make sure that nothing outside the project was pointing to it.
But the TextMorph ended up being changed to New York, again!
Is there something odd happening here?
How can I get a local TextStyle stored and restored with a project?
What other kinds of objects is this going to happen with?
