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:

http://www.lsi.usp.br/~jecel/jabs1.html

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.
