Actually we had a discussion about this in the mailing list. The
developers had mentioned that it should take the font provided in the
package, rather than the font provided by the system. We actually had
used the font provided by the system in the 2007 SOC release of
tuxtype. This was removed during the SOC 2008 part, and tuxtype was
made to use the font provided in the package. I think that it should
first check the font in the package and then check for the system
provided font. I will try to add this feature as soon as i can.

And about the Could not find glyph for Unicode char 'N', value = 78 ,
I think this was corrected in the repository. I will look into it. If
anyone can check my branch, I think this bug was fixed in that.
