Be careful to not put in truetype as the _default_ fonts for Xastir.
Most people don't have those installed.  A lot of low-end systems
won't have that stuff installed.  Some other OS'es may not have the
servers available to begin with.

I remember that during some upgrades some popup messages came up
telling me I had to do such-and-such to get the truetype font server
up and running.  I've never done that.

Adding support for it would be a great thing.  Very useful for those
that can use it.  Whether you need to add anything special to Xastir
to get there though, I don't know.  It might be as simple as
specifying a different font string.
