This is a very good point. What is your recommendation for image
distribution to users (not developers) to use the fonts on their PC? I
don't think it's a good idea to tell them how to go to SqueakMap,
install the plugins and then the freetype package. It should just work,
as you say.

For example, let's say you created an image on Linux to distribute. What
do you tell windows users on how to use your image? (at this point, I
assume Mac users are not an issue because that hasn't been completed, yes?)
