 Just wanted to run through the fonts currently installed in Soas and
 indicate the ones that render correctly in Write, and the ones that don't.
 I'm sure OLPC's distro has a set of fonts that all functioned well in
 Write and very likely supported more language scripts (will go look-up
 that list following this ticket):

 Bitstream Charter = good
 Century Schoolbook L = good
 Console = tiny letters that all overprint
 Dingbats = Just Prints Uue Code For All Keys I Tried
 Fixed = tiny letters that all overprint
 Hershey-* (all 9 of them) = badly corrupted characters and broken line
 spacing
 Lucida Typewriter = tiny letters that all overprint
 MT Extra = good
 MiscFixed = tiny letters that all overprint
 Nimbus Mono L = good
 Nimbus Roman No9 L = good
 Nimbus Sans L = good
 Standard Symbols L = just prints UUE code for all keys I tried
 URW Bookman L = good
 URW Chancery L = good
 URW Gothic L = good
 URW Palladio L = good
 Utopia = good
 cmbx10 = good
 cmex10 = good
 cmmi10 = no spaces work
 cmr10 = good
 console8x8 = tiny letters that all overprint
 eufm10 = good
 msam10 = good
 msbm10 = good
 wasy10 = good
 Times New Roman = good
