I removed the dependency of this before I committed. This is now built-in
default. The propfonts/loadable fonts defines are now history.

We really need a more comfortable way of doing this, a shell script and a

I did that.

Yes, that needs to be sorted out. That fat.c code used before was horribly
ugly.

Right, the helv08.bdf font I've had testing with creates a HUGE .fnt file
that doesn't load properly. And thus I haven't been able to test your code
for proportional fonts, just because I know of no other prop .bdf.

I agree with that.

You'll notice that I re-indented your code to Rockbox standard and a few
other minor things.

Now, the work with getting this to work properly all over can begin!
