[Freeciv-Dev] fontproblems with xfsft (PR#245)

After downloading xfsft and configuring my x-fontserver 
to use truetype fonts, the texts of the civclient became unreadable
because of using a bad font face with a wrong charset.
Then I found a line in the file Freeciv:
!*.font:        *-courier-normal-r-bold--12-*
and by deleting the ! and choosing other fontfaces tried to modify the
used fonttypes,
(for example:
*.font:         *-courier-normal-r-bold--12-*
or:
*.font:         -monotype-arial-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8850-*
or:
*.font:         *-helvetica-normal-r-bold--12-*)
but nothing changed in the client. I found no helpfile 
about this problem.
My fonts seem to work well with Netscape and the K-applications, so I 
don't think the problem would be caused by the wrong setting up of fonts 
in X, but rather that the font-selection does not work well in the client.
I'm not sure sure, this is a real bug of freeciv, but should you help, I 
would be grateful.

Thanx, Ger
