[Mono-osx] Unable to run .Net windows applicationon Mac 10.4[Tiger]

[Geoff Norton]

Brian,

  At this time no one is working on it (to my knowledge).  I would be
happy to provide direction if someone wanted to undertake this task.
Basically all the font code in libgdiplus would need to be rewritten to
use quartz-font instead of directly accessing freetype/fontconfig.
Alternatively we could use pango-cairo which provides quartz-font for
the measurments/etc.
