[Laszlo-dev] UPDATED For Review: Change 20070208-ptw-x Summary: Binary Library tweaks

[Sebastian Wagner]

i did that testings with the nightly (trunk). I think your patches are not
into nightly, if you try to

<library>
  <font ..../>
</library>

and write:
<import href="mylib.lzx" ...

you get a compiler error like that one:

binarylib/timmons.lzx:3:43: A loadable library cannot embed fonts; If
you want to use this font,
add it to the main application sources.
