Re: [sc-dev] some redirects could break code. Please OK
I'm holding off on this pending further discussion. Redirecting font
would mean changing a lot of primitives probably. Pen is probably ok.
Perhaps we do not need to redirect font.
Yet the whole discussion about redirects started not just because of
convenient cross kit syntax, but also because of the possibility that
some brave soul might do a cross-platform gui with QT or the like some
day....
