Font problems on Windows

[Bruce Sherwood <Bruce_Sherwood ncsu edu>]

Thanks. I found your note, and the link to your extensive discussion:

As a newcomer, I'll note that the very good gtkmm documentation on 
installation and use could be improved by adding a section on packaging 
applications for Windows and Mac.

Still looking for someone who has successfully built a "stand-alone" 
Windows application using gtkmm and can tell me how to handle fonts. Thanks.
