the font bug

[capmikee@home.martnet.com]

I got another report of that blasted font bug - this time on Suse 7.3 KDE 2.2.

For those who haven't seen it before, the game crashes with the message:

canvas_font_load(): cannot load font 
misc-fixed-medium-*-normal-*-15-0-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

Antonio Leal offered the patch below for board.c.
As far as I know, no one's tried this patch on a system that didn't
have the bug in the first place. 

A couple people offered to write a patch that checks your system to
decide which font to use. Has anyone succeeded with that? I'd love to
see it if you have.
