This is just about what fonts are available on Linux vs Windows.

There’s some old archived threads about people trying to get Windows fonts installed on Linux and recognized by Java, like this one: [Java Fonts and Linux](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/java-fonts-and-linux/1112)

Ignition 8 “solves” this by shipping its own Java runtime and a new font that’s used by all OS’s.
