Easy is as easy is.

I have had nightmares with stuff not working. It has probably improved a
lot since my last install.

I recall issues with font paths not being picked up, fonts not being
cached, true type fonts simply not working.

it all "just works" on my set up now. But I'm not going to pretend it
all worked out of the box because it certainly did not and for a new
user from Windows I'm not so sure if "easy" is the correct term.

Anyway, there's always Dan C to help the nOOb through any teething
problems I am sure.
