[gcompris-devel] Font handling

[Holger Kaelberer]

Hi,

happy to hear that you took over the font task! ;-)

+1 for integrating a (good) default font, that should be activated initially for new installations. 
The current default (on my system?) is just very bad for distinguishing some letters ('l' vs. 'I').
