[Xastir] Font troubles

[Chip Griffin]

Is it possible to have the installer check which fonts are available  
and then modify the new config file? Alternatively is it possible for  
Xastir to check to see if the font is valid and if not then either  
select one that is valid? Seems like there ought to be a way to make  
this smoother when installing the first time. I must admit that it  
worked flawlessly for me.
