For the moment, True Type fonts are detected using "locate",
but only the ones which are explicitly supported in

        progs/fonts/fonts-truetype.scm

So if you want to add additional fonts, then please create
the corresponding entries in this file and send it back to us
for inclusion in the official distribution. Don't forget to
run "updatedb" if you just installed some new fonts and
don't forget to make the fonts available from the menus in

        progs/menus/menu-format.scm

Of course, if someone wants to implement a plug-in for
a more automatic font-selection system, then this would
be welcome too.
