I think it would be, because currently LCL cross-platform font usage is
not very good. My first impressions with Mac OS X proved it more so. For
a possible solution, see what I did in fpGUI. I have mentioned it here
in the mailing list too... search for 'font aliases'. And yes, it will
definitely not be Delphi compatible, but then again, Delphi doesn't
support multiple platforms - so they don't have that issue.
