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

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!
