IcedTea Fonts

[Kyle Galloway]

A replacement for the encumbered font rendering code has been checked 
into IcedTea.  It removes the dependency on the encumbered libt2k, and 
replaces it with FreeType.  Sun is working on a more full-featured 
replacement, and I believe the code is close to being merged into 
OpenJDK itself.  Screen shots are available on Francis' blog 
http://fkung.wordpress.com/2007/07/18/icedtea-fonts-working/ .

Cheers,
Kyle
