It's good design to try and make your content intelligible to as many of
your readers as you can. With FACE you therefore want to provide
alternatives for Windows, MacOS and Unix.

Remember also that the design should ensure that the meaning is not
dependent on the typeface or images. The end user many not be able to view
the typeface or may choose to override it with their own choice. They might
be unable to view the images or may choose not to because of communications
costs. Within a fairly short time we can expect some viewing to be done on
the equivalent of mobile phones which will have an interesting bearing on
this.
