STDWIN under Linux & Mac

And speaking of STDWIN for python, is there anyone here using it on both X11
and the Mac, and trying to get portable programs? The capabilities of the
two seem not to match too closely, but I might not understand just how it is
supposed to work. I.e., under the Mac, stdwin.listfontnames() simply returns
an empty list -- is this right? I'd like to be able to create a simple
window that displays the status of the program so the user can see if progress
is actually being made (these Macs are old, and we can never be certain, it
seems). Does anyone have a demo program that is portable between the two
platforms, preferably using a variety of fonts?

Guido: is STDWIN still being developed, at least to bring the various
versions into line with each other? I prefer tkinter, but immediate
portability would be a nice feature, and quite useful!

Many thanks in advance!
