Well, as long as you take care of any font files used in the scene.
If you used a text object with a font file not available on the
rendering machine, it won't render.
(ttf files are fine on Windows & Linux, just have to locate them
correctly... and the big Arial.ttf with all the unicode stuff is
only available with latest ms-office...)

But, I agree, once the resources (of include and font files) have
been found, no problem!
