What are the available fonts in Luxor that can be used cross-platform?  
How can I make a package using Luxor that provides the same text results on different platforms?  
Any help is appreciated.

That’s a very good question, and I wish I had a good answer. ☹

Basically your task is to find out how Cairo and Cairo.jl select and access fonts on different platforms - Luxor is merely a layer of surface syntax on top - nothing happens unless Cairo.jl makes it happen.

You can start your investigations with some [Cairo.jl](https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Cairo.jl/issues/138) issues, where the ever-patient Andreas has explained what is and isn’t possible.
