It seems that it should be possible to separate identification and loading
of fonts (could be platform-dependent) from the rendering of fonts (ideally
not platform-dependent).

It would be nice instead of worrying about how Microsoft does it or Apple
does it to instead use a platform-independent hardware abstraction like
OpenGL. I know this won't work on some platforms but it will work on most,
and GLES is looking to be well-supported on future low-power devices. This
might also be an elegant way to improve the somewhat uncomfortable
relationship between OpenGL worlds and the rest of the Squeak environment.
