That works but then we're maintaining two codepaths, one or other of which will hardly be tested at all. Why not just check in the font binaries? I know CVS isn't very good at it, but it does work and it'll probably save pain later.
First because binaries are a pain with CVS, second and more important because there has to be a very good reason for putting any generated file in CVS; configure qualifies, but fonts don't. The worst case is that the window controls won't look exactly right, that's not a big deal, and it can be solved by having a binary font package somewhere for download.
