Has there been any thought to using real threads so that dual processor systems can be fully utilized?

This would have been great back when I was using the Meiko machine at the university - it had 10 Sparc processors.
I have investigated parallelizing Self, but my results couldn't be easily patched into the standard implementation:

About the fonts, I have often had Self complain about missing fonts but never did it crash due to this. Instead it just replaced it with another even though the result didn't look quite right. So your missing font id error might be something more than just the missing font.

Thanks, I will check out your references.
The font id was a warning that appears to be separate from the cause of the crashes, which is a BigInt going to a primitive that does not want one.
