For the most part, no. Both currently use the freetype library to render
fonts that are embedded in VTK, so they are the same on all platforms.
Newer VTK has support for using FontConfig to find and render fonts from
the system, which may lead to different results on different platforms
(this is disabled by default). The same layout algorithms are used
regardless, so artifacts like this one you pointed out should not be
related to the platform.

Hope this helps,
Dave
