The problem is that it's not immediately obvious that FontForge is 
required, and most people don't have it installed.

How about we use one of the following solutions:

* put a warning about this in configure

* add the prebuild .ttf files to the source package and fall back to 
those if we don't have fontforge (not many people modify the .sfd files)

* write a wine utility to convert .sfd files to .ttf files  (difficult, 
as fontforge is not LGPL licensed, but the authour might give us 
permission).
