Andy Tween's call really.
The FreeType fonts don not actually reside in the image, they are references
to the fonts on the host OS.
It would be nice, perhaps, to only check if the image has moved (to possibly
a different OS).
Even then a font may have been deleted so some way to fallback would be
good.
For our client's software I regularly develop on Win32 and deploy to Linux
so having an automatic check is quite important.
Regards, Gary
