[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Installing a new font

The 770 uses fontconfig and freetype in the same way as any modern Linux 
distribution, i.e. both TTF and Type1 fonts are supported. While there 
is no interface for managing fonts on the device, putting the fonts in 
~/.fonts/ will make them available to all applications.

Creating such an interface for installing/removing fonts would be an 
excellent, quite easy, project for someone just starting Maemo development.
