You can add the bitmap font directorys in /etc/fonts/local.conf; the
problem is that fontconfig doesn't have any way (at this point) to delete
font directories on a per-user basis. Hmm. Perhaps there should be a way.

We've got bitmaps for 'Times' and Helvetica as well as Fixed and when apps
ask for these by name, they get them. And they're quite ugly.
