[PD] pdp_text

[Yves Degoyon]

hi,

you have to issue a "make install" in PiDiP folder
so that it installs fonts in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
( you can also check this manually )

PiDiP ( Imlib2 in fact ) will not support any ttf files,
the one provided is allright but some won't work,
it's still a mystery to me .. .

cheers,
