There isn't any, or at least, I am intentionally not compiling them,
so as to restrict usage to people familiar with compilers and compiling.
It is, after all, the experimental development branch.  It furthermore
pleases me to limit my use of Windows to the absolute minimum. :)

I use what is supposed to be the same font for DGD, the recommended
Windows one.  My guess is that the rules are changed because your
default font is Czech.

This is definitely a bug.  I'm in the process of creating 1.1p8,
which will include a compiled version for Windows, and I'll try
to fix this...
