I am all for this listing in README, however this one causes many hard
to explain problems. Until I read this thread I was perplexed by <font

occurred without warning. The relationships between and the problems
caused by this issue may need more explaining to ensure that people
know why they need this package. Note Fedora seems to have freetype
but not fontforge in the base distribution which means this problem
will happen more often rather than less.<br>
