Hi, everyone,

As a result of recent discussions on this list in the last few days, I
decided to investigate Fontaine's handling and support of different
font file formats in a more systematic fashion.  In addition to
filling in some gaps in support for Type1 Postscript fonts, I also did
extensive testing on Apple OS X for the first time.

The result of this work is that Fontaine SVN revision 30 is now
available with the following improvements:

(1) Improved support for Type1 (Postscript) fonts.
(2) Extensively tested to verify that Fontaine correctly handles the
following font file types and formats: TrueType (TTF, OTF, CFF, Apple
dfont and AppleDouble-encoded TrueType/OpenType), Type1 (.pfa, .pfb),
and X11 bitmap (.pcf.gz).
(3) Added XFree86 license detection.
(4) Revised X11/MIT and IPA license detection.
(5) Added a small addition to one of the CMakeLists.txt"
(6) Improved handling of license URLs
