In what way does the display get corrupted exactly? A screenshot might
be helpful here.

I'd recommend using outline fonts only for reading and perhaps minor
edits. The support for outline fonts is far from complete, the main
problem being that StrongED is built very much with the notion that
characters are of fixed width (8 pixels).
Currently there are still problems with tabs, control characters, caret
placement and more. The work required to fully support outline fonts is
considerable and time is much more at a premium these days.
Cheers,
Fred.
