It should not be related at all (the display code is essentially 
separate from the PDF export code).

The likely explanation: fonts can't be found -- standard linux font 
names are different from standard windows font names, so unless you 
manually install linux fonts in windows or vice-versa, most likely the 
fonts won't be found (and xournal doesn't try to do any conversion).

Also, the font support in the windows ports of linux libraries is bound 
to be a bit funky, so I'm sure there are many bugs with the text objects 
in the windows version.
