PC/x-platform development (was Re: embed/install font)

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Brad,

I dont think nothing is stopping you from copying your stack to a mac and
running it via a demo player... 

Once the stack is made (on a PC for example), i dont think you need to
recompile it to run on Macs or Linux. 

But i could be wrong...

cheers
Xavier
