Following up on my own post: I just saw your second commit (removing 
the definition on WXMSW only), which made things clear. Obviously, on 
a Windows build this definition would clash with the Windows LOGFONT 
definition. One more good reason to change the Kernel/OIL interface to 
remove the dependency on LOGFONT.
