Cross Platform Font Layout - current workarounds

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

Feck ONE of the sticking points. There are a crap load of hoops I have to
jump through to make them work cross platform. The font thing is just my
latest little annoyance that puts me up on my soap box. I've been truly
shafted by the plethora of fekkin' NON-CODE-ONCE stuff we HAVE to do to
make them work cross platform. SERIOUSLY!!?! ONE!! FTFRO!! Thats both legs
broken now, thanks!
