[gcompris-devel] Better font sets

[Fòram na Gàidhlig]

I have now created fontsets for Andika and documentation in the WIKI

http://gcompris.net/wiki/Fontsets

We still need good fontsets for non-Latin languages, maybe we can raid 
SIL for more fonts?

http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?cat_id=FontDownloads

It's hard for me to judge which fonts are best though, since I don't 
speak any of those languages.

=====================================================

The new files are in boards/fontsets, and I modified src/gcompris/skin.c 
and skin.h

https://github.com/gunchleoc/GCompris/tree/master/boards/fontsets
https://github.com/gunchleoc/GCompris/blob/master/src/gcompris/skin.c
https://github.com/gunchleoc/GCompris/blob/master/src/gcompris/skin.h

What we now need are installers for the TTF fonts for the various 
operating systems. This is completely over my head, so I will need 
somebody else to take this on.

I tried to do a bit of legwork, and for NSIS we would need something 
like this in gcompris-installer.nsi.in:
