[ale] adding true type fonts

[James Sumners]

#> apt-get install xfstt
#> cp *.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
#> /etc/init.d/xfstt reload

You also need to add 'FontPath "unix/:7101"' and 'FontPath "unix/:7100"' to your
XF86Config. Of course you will have to restart X for that to take effect.

Once you have it all up and running you can dynamically add ttf fonts by just
copying the font to the fonts directory and reloading the server.

All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological
personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the
corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a
condition to which they are quickly addicted.
