I&amp;#x27;ve had to do a lot of reading about Windows, Unix and OS X font and text handling, and to be honest I really think so far that Apple has the cleanest platform for handling text.&lt;p&gt;I could be wrong about this, and happy to be challenged (actually, I welcome it with some reasoning because I&amp;#x27;m still getting my head around all the systems fully). Anyway, just an aside.</text></comment>
