Yes it will. Are build tools like a JDK also managed by Maven or are they a
"prerequisite"? The latter is what we are saying for the Ant scripts. You
have to download the platform build tools including playerglobal.

Fontkit is required to embed fonts for Spark. I am hopeful we can replace
our dependency on it as I think all it does is convert other font files to
CFF format.
