Automatic font manager for Lunar commit it to lunar, new API for Lunar devs

[Zbigniew Luszpinski]

Hi,

in attachment you will find automatic font managment extension to Lunar 
tools. It has two commands for use in font installing modules:
addfont /path/to/font/directory
removefont /path/to/font/directory

I made it late Autumn for me because I was tired seeing that all modules 
install fonts but does nothing to make them usable by X and all 
applications.

If you add font installing module just add in post_install this line:
addfont /path/to/font/directory
e.g.:
addfont /usr/share/fonts/liberation-fonts-ttf

addfont will do all work:
Create font cache/scale cache and register font in X to make it available 
for all applications.

removefont /path/to/font/directory
e.g.
removefont /usr/share/fonts/liberation-fonts-ttf
you can execute it in *remove scripts to unregister font in X and remove 
remainings as long as font directory is in /usr/share/fonts/

There is also one more command: buildfontconfig
When you will execute addfont for first time and it will realize you do 
not have font config file it will build everything for you.

This is my first step to make Lunar a great user experience out of the 
box. Final step will be reached when Lunar desktop will work great out of 
the box without /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

have a nice day,
Zbigniew Luszpinski
