[gcompris-devel] Font handling

[Johnny Jazeix]

Hi,

Foràm, good for me to take Andika instead of Ruluko, so if no one has
something against it, I'll put Andika. Both have same license.

Yes and no :). You need to specify in the source code the font names
you want to add. I didn't find how to get all the filenames inside a
rcc but if it is possible, we can add all the fonts in a rcc file
dynamically (just tell in the source code to read fonts.rcc and add
the font names to the list).

For now, I added them in the core directory so we load them from the
core.rcc file. Do you prefer another external rcc ?
