Font rendering problem in 1.6 branch (fine in 1.5 and master)

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Ah... I figured it out...  It has to do with --enable-builtin-fonts  
going from "no" by default in 1.5 to "yes" by default in 1.6 to being  
removed in master.

If this is being punted in master, and has been off in previous  
releases, should we turn it back off in 1.6 by reverting  
385943e0e97463ce4681a9b6a4a40d7e3c91e51e ?
