That's not a reason why we can't ship typescript files for Windows
and Mac. We still have type-msw with typescripts for Verdana and
Arial and type-xtx with typescripts for the Mac (a lot of them
for XeTeX only).

I think it makes sense to provide two new files type-win for fonts
included in Windows Vista and type-mac for Mac OS (are .dfont fonts
working in LuaTeX 0.40).
